U06-8269 Chronic renal failure due to diabetes mellitus LURD kidney transplant 1/11/05 with good initial function, creatinine 100-120. Immunosuppression: tacrolimous, Cellcept, prednisone, Donor CMV +ve; recipient CMV –ve. Valcyte started 900 mg daily until 15/02/06.

IF • IgG-moderate linear GBM,mild linear TBM staining • IgA- mild to moderate GBM staining • IgM-trivial mesangial staining,minimal vascular staining • C3- mild vascular staining,trivial punctate mesangial staining • C1q-negative • Kappa-minimal linear GBM staining • Lambda- minimal linear GBM staining • Fibrin- mild punctate mesangial staining,focal mild interstitial staining • Albumin- moderate linear GBM and TBM staining,mild hyaline drop[let change in tubular cytoplasm • C4d-negative
Diagnosis: Renal Biopsy:( six months post-transplantation): Minimal inflammation with focal multinucleated tubular epithelial cells suggestive viral infection. Immunostaining for CMV is negative. Rule out viral infection Probable early transplant glomerulopathy. No evidence of acute rejection.EM is pending. Banff scores: (G0 CG1 I1 CI1 T0 CT1 V0 CV0 AH0 MM0)
