Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma in a renal transplant recipient: an opportunistic occurrence. 1994

Department of Pathology, University of the West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica.

A 42-year-old man with chronic renal failure and homograft transplantation developed adult T cell lymphoma in one native kidney. The role of transfusion in the acquisition of human T-lymphotropic virus type I and its role in the early development of adult T cell lymphoma, particularly on the background of chronic immunosuppression, are discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first such case.

D007165	Immunosuppression Therapy	Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
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.
