Recurrent glomerular diseases in kidney transplants.

S C Jordan

    The Journal of the Singapore Paediatric Society
    |January 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Recurrent glomerular diseases rarely contraindicate kidney transplantation. Careful clinical investigation allows transplantation for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) from immunological conditions, even with recurrence risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Transplantation Immunology

    Background:

    • Recurrent glomerular diseases pose a significant consideration for physicians performing kidney transplantation.
    • Understanding recurrence rates is crucial for informed patient consent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of recurrent glomerular diseases on kidney allograft outcomes.
    • To inform clinical practice regarding transplantation in patients with potentially recurrent conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical data and outcomes for kidney transplant recipients with a history of glomerular diseases.
    • Analysis of recurrence rates and their effect on graft survival.

    Main Results:

    • Recurrent glomerular disease in an allograft is infrequently an absolute contraindication for transplantation.
    • Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) from immunological renal diseases, previously deemed untransplantable, can benefit from transplantation.
    • Recurrence of original disease in allografts is less problematic than previously assumed.

    Conclusions:

    • Kidney transplantation is a viable option for many patients with ESRD due to immunological diseases.
    • Clinical investigation, rather than presumption, should guide therapeutic decisions in renal transplantation.
    • Transplantation offers life-saving opportunities for patients with conditions previously considered untreatable.
