Transferring "old" kidney desease to "new" transplanted kidney ?

[kristina]

Hello,

I have been wondering whether a chronic kidney disease might still “remain in our body-tissue-system”
and then might get “transferred” straight from our body-system into the “new” transplanted kidney, after the transplant has taken place?

I am wondering about this, because “my” Chronic Proliferative Glomerulonephritis, which was diagnosed through a kidney-biopsy in 1972
(one year after I suffered complete kidney failure with coma and uraemia in 1971) has stayed with me and harassed me continuously ever since,
has over the years slowly further compromised my kidney function & health and has finally made my kidneys completely deteriorate into ESRF again since August 2006...

Does this Chronic Proliferative Glomerulonephritis (plus “my” SLE/MCTD, Vasculitis, Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Sjoegren's & Sicca Syndrome and chronic hypertension etc.)
still remain in my body-tissue after a transplant has taken place and transfers itself then to the new transplanted kidney ?

Thanks from Kristina.

Whether a disease can re-occur in a transplanted kidney depends on the disease. Some yes, some no. I'm not familiar with your disease but your doctor should be able to tell you.

I read the other day in some article that FSGS can return in the new kidney when you have high amount of anti-bodies.

My nephrologist and PCP both told me that my IgA nepropathy may reoccur in my transplanted kidney as well.
