Recurrence of IgA Nephropathy after Kidney Transplantation in Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

In patients with kidney failure due to IgA nephropathy, IgA deposits can recur in a subsequent kidney transplant. The incidence, effect, and risk factors of IgA nephropathy recurrence is unclear, because most studies have been single center and sample sizes are relatively small.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We performed a multicenter, international, retrospective study to determine the incidence, risk factors, and treatment response of recurrent IgA nephropathy after kidney transplantation. Data were collected from all consecutive patients with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy transplanted between 2005 and 2015, across 16 "The Post-Transplant Glomerular Disease" study centers in Europe, North America, and South America.
