Abstract:
Living-related renal transplantation was performed successfully in a patient with nail-patella syndrome. Graft biopsy 18 months post-transplantation showed normal glomerular basement membrane by electron microscopy. Dystrophic nails of both index fingers had also regrown, suggesting the donor kidney might replenish deficient factors.
