Abstract

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is currently the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (DRET) in Europe and United States and the second leading cause in Brazil. Histological recurrence of diabetic nephropathy has been described in about 40% of patients, with recurrent diagnosis made on average 6-8 years after kidney transplantation, but with reports of recurrence as early as 2 years. We report the case of a patient with previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus who underwent kidney transplantation with a deceased donor and developed recurrent diabetic nephropathy in the first year after transplantation, with a diagnosis of certainty only after repeated biopsies.
