| Abstract: | We describe a patient who received a living related kidney transplant that worked very well initially but developed oliguria and renal failure within 1 week and required dialysis. Clinical and hemological changes, as well as renal biopsy, confirmed the diagnosis of cyclosporin-induced hemolytic uremic syndrome. The patient did not respond to antirejection therapy or plasma exchange but did respond to the withdrawal of cyclosporin A and the commencement of FK 506. |
