| Popis: | Thrombotic microangiopathy is an uncommon complication of cyclosporin immunosuppression following renal transplantation. We present a 15-year-old girl who developed clinical features of acute rejection, but in whom an early biopsy revealed thrombotic microangiopathy, allowing a change to FK506 immunosuppression resulting in excellent graft recovery. |
