Living-related renal transplantation was performed successfully in a patient with nail-patella syndrome. Graft biopsy 18 months post-transplantation showed normal glomerular basement membrane by electron microscopy. Dystrophic nails of both index fingers had also regrown, suggesting the donor kidney might replenish deficient factors.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007676	Kidney Failure, Chronic	The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
