Abstract
- The natural history of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in patients retransplanted after loss of a primary allograft is not well established. We studied 14 patients with FSGS who were retransplanted between April 1964 and September 1990 to determine if recurrence in a second or subsequent allograft could be predicted. In this group, 8 of the primary allografts were lost to recurrent disease and 6 to rejection. None of the 6 patients who lost their primary allograft to rejection without evidence of recurrent FSGS suffered recurrent disease after retransplantation.
