pubmed:abstractText |
Glomerulonephritis in transplant recipients often reflects recurrence of the immunopathogenetic mechanism causing the original renal disease. Membranous nephropathy (MN), a progressive immune complex mediated glomerular disease and the commonest cause of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in adults, has been virtually unreported in transplant recipients. Two cases are reported here of typical MN (by clinical, light, immunofluorescent and electron microscopic criteria) developing de novo in the transplants of patients whose original diseases were anti-GBM nephritis and focal glomerular sclerosis. NM developed following episodes of viral hepatitis and renal infarction respectively. Possible mechanisms by which this lesion might develop in these patients are investigated and discussed. Chronic immune complex nephropathy (MN) can develop de novo in immunosuppressed transplant recipients apparently initiated by events in the post-transplant period.
