Resumen
GARCIA COSMES, Pedro et al. Recurrence of ANCA-associated vasculitis in a patient with kidney transplant. Nefrología (Madr.) [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.2, pp.176-180. ISSN 1989-2284. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nefro.2015.08.011.
Renal disease secondary to vasculitis associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) can lead to chronic renal disease requiring renal replacement therapy. In these patients, kidney transplantation offers excellent long-term rates of allograft and patient survival; consequently, they can be trasplanted when the clinical disease activity has remitted. However, the risk of disease relapses in the renal allograft remains, although at lower rates due to modern immunosuppressive regimens. We describe the case of a male patient with extracapillary glomerulonephritis type III C-ANCA (+) who developed a recurrence in the renal allograft 8 years after transplantation. Intensive immunosupression with plasmapheresis controlled the disease.
