RESUMO
despite the high frequency of renal involvement associated with Hansen's disease and the persistent occurrence of leprosy, especially in the underveloped countries, reference to kidney transplantation in these patients is rare. Secondary amyloidosis and a nephritic process possibly mediated by immune complexes are present in one-half of the leprosy pateints studied either by autopsy or by kidney biopsy.
