We performed 73 kidney transplants in 51 patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) with focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSG) ages 18.4 +/- 12.8 (mean +/- SD) years. Recurrence of SRNS, defined by rapid onset of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and/or > 95% epithelial cell foot process effacement with or without the presence of FSG, occurred in 26 grafts in 16 patients. Acute renal failure (ARF) occurred in 16 of 26 (61.5%) grafts with recurrence versus 7 of 47 (14.9%) grafts without recurrence (P < 0.0001). ARF occurred in 4 of 9 (44.4%) living-related donor (LRD) recipients with recurrence and 3 of 21 (12.5%) LRD recipients without recurrence (NS). ARF in cadaver donor (CAD) recipients with recurrence was 12 of 17 (70.5%) versus 4 of 23 (17.4%) without recurrence (P < 0.0001). ARF was also higher in LRD or CAD with recurrence than in a control group of non-SRNS patients matched for age, sex and time of transplantation. Graft survival at one year was lower in patients with recurrence and ARF [4 of 16 (25%)] compared to patients with recurrence and no ARF [9 of 11 (82%), P < 0.01]. There was no difference in graft survival in patients without recurrence who did or did not have ARF. One or more acute rejection episodes occurred in all 16 patients with ARF and recurrence, in all 7 patients with ARF without recurrence, and in 7 of 10 patients with recurrence without ARF compared with only 11 of 40 (28%) of patients with neither recurrence nor ARF (P < 0.0001, < 0.001 and < 0.04, respectively).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.

D004351 Drug Resistance Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should be differentiated from DRUG TOLERANCE which is the progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, as a result of continued administration.

D005923 Glomerulosclerosis, Focal Segmental A clinicopathological syndrome or diagnostic term for a type of glomerular injury that has multiple causes, primary or secondary. Clinical features include PROTEINURIA, reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE, and EDEMA. Kidney biopsy initially indicates focal segmental glomerular consolidation (hyalinosis) or scarring which can progress to globally sclerotic glomeruli leading to eventual KIDNEY FAILURE.

D005938 Glucocorticoids A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
