Late presentation of Alport posttransplantation anti-glomerular basement membrane disease
Abstract
We describe a female patient with Alport disease who developed antiglomerular basement membrane nephritis late after kidney transplantation during the treatment of an acute bacterial pyelonephritis and discuss the potential role of the infection as a trigger for the development of this nephritis.
