Recurrence of glomerulonephritis (GN) and newly occurring GN (de novo GN) in the transplanted kidney are a frequent cause of allograft loss at 10 years [1] (Table 1). For example, studies in large US databases found a recurrence of the underlying disease in 3–8% of the patients [2, 3]. However, these retrospective analyses are biased by many confounding factors, such as the enormous disparity in the number of diseases, the different periods of transplant, the different treatments, the different policy for biopsy etc.

Abstract

Recurrence of glomerulonephritis (GN) and newly occurring GN (de novo GN) in the transplanted kidney are a frequent cause of allograft loss at 10 years [1] (Table 1). For example, studies in large US databases found a recurrence of the underlying disease in 3–8% of the patients [2, 3]. However, these retrospective analyses are biased by many confounding factors, such as the enormous disparity in the number of diseases, the different periods of transplant, the different treatments, the different policy for biopsy etc.
