Abstract Background and Aims Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a major cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD)1. It represents the primary cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) for 25% of the dialysis population1 and 45% of the transplant population. For patients with GN requiring renal replacement therapy, kidney transplantation is associated with superior outcomes compared with dialysis2. The possibility of recurrence of the original disease after transplantation was described in a seminal paper more than 40 years ago, and it is now clear that all forms of GN may recur after kidney transplantation.3 To study the recurrence of glomerulonephritis post-transplant in a tertiary care centre. Method 120 renal transplant recipients were analyzed from September 2015 to August 2019 at the Institute of Nephro-Urology, Bangalore. It was a retrospective analysis of data Results 120 adult patients underwent kidney transplantation, out of these 70 had GN as primary cause of kidney disease. 85.8% were males, 14.2 % females. 58.9 % were biopsy proven GN, remaining 41.1 % diagnosed based on history and clinical presentation. All but one patient had their first transplant. Out of these kidney transplant recipients 08 (11.4%) had recurrence of GN.  From these 4/08 was recurrent IgA N, 2/08 were PGNMID, 1/08 MGN, 1/08 aHUS. Graft loss due to recurrent GN was seen in 1/08 patients (12.5%). Conclusion Our study showed that 11.4 % of kidney transplant recipients with GN as their cause of ESRD had recurrent GN post kidney transplantation. IgAN was the most type of GN that recurred most frequently followed by PGNMID. Recurrence of GN was in par with other studies and did not affect graft survival

Echogenic Kidneys

Review of 2,700 abdominal ultrasonic examinations revealed 56 patients whose kidneys showed increased echogenicity. Echogenic kidneys were associated with medical renal disease in 94% of cases (30% glomerular, 48% tubulointerstitial, 16% end-stage) and with no detectable renal disease in 6% (three patients). Patterns of increased echogenicity and renal size were evaluated. Specific patterns occurred in end-stage renal disease and polycystic kidney disease. Other medical renal diseases had overlapping ultrasonographic features. Some generalizations could be made although increased echogenicity was often nonspecific.

Incident Cases

Background We compared, in patients contraindicated for kidney transplant, outcomes between those patients who were only on hemodialysis (HD) and those who were given peritoneal dialysis (PD) as first renal replacement therapy (RRT). Design Prospective, population-based cohort study of incident cases of end-stage renal disease between June 1997 and June 1999. Setting A network of dialysis care: NEPHROLOR, that is, all the renal units in Lorraine, one of the 22 French administrative regions (population over 2.3 million people). Participants 387 patients were contraindicated for kidney transplant during the first 2 years of RRT: 284 were on HD, 103 on PD. Mean age was 67.6 ± 11.3 years for HD patients and 70.8 ± 11.4 years for PD patients ( p = 0.015). Main Outcome Measures Mortality until June 2003, hospitalization over the 2 first years of RRT, and Kidney Disease and Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF) 6 and 12 months after initiation of RRT. Results HD patients were more likely to die from cardiac or cerebrovascular causes, PD from cachexia or withdrawal from dialysis. Whatever mode of RRT, the unadjusted 2-year and 5-year survival rates were similar ( p = 0.98). The rate of total duration of hospital stay per month of RRT was similar in HD and PD groups: 2.7 ± 4.5 and 2.9 ± 4.2 days respectively ( p = 0.7). PD was associated with better quality of life than HD. The dimensions Role limitation due to emotional function, Burden of kidney disease, and Role limitation due to physical function ranked first, second, and third for PD. Conclusion In Lorraine, end-stage renal disease patients who were given PD as first-line RRT had no excess of death risk or hospitalizations, and better quality of life the first year of RRT.
