Case 10
Presented by: Eugen Mandache
Clinical History
A fifty-two year old female has received a donor kidney from a living relative, 7 months before the present biopsy was performed. The patient had a glomerulonephritis of unknown origin followed by renal failure and secondary hypertension.
After the transplant the patient was immuno-suppressed with Prograf and MMF.
During this treatment a slow rise of the serum creatinine value appeared (1.5 – 3 mg %) and the patient was suspected of a graft rejection. The patient had no proteinuria.
Three weeks after the kidney biopsy the patient died of pneumonia, although she was unsuccessfully treated with several antibiotics for 14 days.
