Hemodialysis and kidney transplantation in a patient with glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency

End stage failure in a patient with congenital hemolytic anemia attributable to glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency was treated successfully with maintenance hemodialysis and renal transplantation. Increased transfusion requirements, intolerance to immunosuppressive agents, and frequent infections were not encountered. Induction of the deficient erythrocyte enzyme by renal transplantation was not expected or realized.
