Abstract
- A 57-year-old female patient on hemodialysis with chronic renal failure due to chronic glomerular nephritis received deceased donor kidney transplantation. Induction immunosuppressive therapy was combination of tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, everolimus, prednisolone, and basiliximab. She was diagnosed with secondary thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) by clinical findings such as hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute kidney injury not by pathological findings on the 4th post-operative date. Plasma exchange was performed with suspension of tacrolimus. General conditions recovered, and the graft function was preserved.
