Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis in Two Patients Following Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant


Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) is a well-known cause of renal injury. This disease is caused by a prior infection with specific nephritogenic strains of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus resulting in formation of immune complexes in the glomeruli. Clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic, microscopic hematuria to the nephritic syndrome which is defined by red to brown urine, nephrotic range proteinuria, edema, hypertension, and acute kidney injury. A few reports have described PSGN in kidney transplant recipients in the post-transplantation period. However, biopsy-proven, donor-derived, PSGN in kidney transplant recipients
has not been described
