Long-term outcome of kidney transplantation in a patient with coexisting lipoprotein glomerulopathy and fibrillary glomerulonephritis.


ABSTRACT: Both lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) and fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) are rare causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and the literature concerning the outcome of kidney transplant in patients with LPG or FGN is scarce. We report a patient who suffered from ESRD with coexisting FGN and LPG and received deceased kidney transplant >10 years ago did not reveal any clinical features of disease recurrence during follow-up. Our case shows that the prognosis of patients with LPG component who received kidney transplant can be good. Kidney transplantation remains a viable therapeutic option for patients with ESRD secondary to FGN with LPG.
