Pretransplant Treatment to Avoid Recurrent Membranous Nephropathy in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: A Case Report.

Kidney transplant candidates with high anti-M-type phospholipase A2 receptor antibody activity may be at increased risk for early postkidney transplant recurrence and allograft loss. Pretransplant treatment to induce serological remission may be warranted to improve allograft survival. In this case report, a patient seeking their third kidney transplant, who lost 2 prior living donor transplants from early recurrent membranous nephropathy, underwent pretransplant treatment for membranous nephropathy with serological remission and no evidence of recurrent disease.
