Overview

Case report reveals persistent proteinuria in a transplant patient, indicating need for immunoadsorption and rituximab treatment.

Key Points

  • Persistent proteinuria increased to 7-8 g/g after kidney transplantation, indicating treatment challenges.
  • Technetium-99m-dimercaptosuccinic-acid renal scan showed native kidneys contributed to 30% renal function.
  • Case details include the use of irbesartan and dapagliflozin, alongside immunoadsorption therapy.
  • Outcomes highlight the complexities of managing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis post-transplantation.
