Abstract EN
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is not an infrequent cause of nephrotic syndrome in the young.
The incidence is 5-15%.
Renal morbidity is significant and the disease relentlessly progresses to renal failure.
Failure due to steroid unresponsiveness and resistance to cytotoxic drug regimen necessitates renal transplantation.
However, recurrence of the primary disease (FSGS) in the allograft poses a serious problem to the graft survival.
We report a case of FSGS that recurred in the graft four months post transplantation in a sixteen year old Bahraini Female.
