RECURRENCE OF TYPE I MEMBRANOPROLIFERATIVE GLOMERULONEPHRITIS AFTER RENAL TRANSPLANTATION

Abstract

Type I MPGN recurred after renal transplantation in half of the patients. The incidence may be even higher in recipients of an identical living related donor graft and in patients receiving a second transplant after having experienced a recurrence in their first graft. Recurrence of type I MPGN has a detrimental effect on graft survival.
