ABSTRACT
Virtually all diseases affecting the native kidney recur in the kidney transplant with the exception of Alport syndrome, polycystic kidney disease, hypertension, chronic pyelonephritis, and chronic interstitial nephritis. Fortunately, in the majority of patients, recurrence of the original disease has minimal clinical impact, with only approximately 5% of all graft loss occurring as a result of recurrent disease. The primary renal diseases that commonly recur include membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II, IgA nephropathy, and focal and segmental glomerular sclerosis. The most common systemic disease that recurs is diabetic nephropathy. Living-related transplantation should be used with caution in patients with the hemolytic uremic syndrome, recurrent focal and segmental glomerular sclerosis, and membraneous glomerulonephritis. Fabry disease and primary hyperoxaluria type I are no longer absolute contraindications to kidney transplantation.
