Recurrent renal thrombotic angiopathy after kidney transplantation in two patients with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS)

Clin Transplant. 1994 Apr;8(2 Pt 1):93-6.

Abstract

Renal artery and venous thrombosis and thrombotic microangiopathy have been related to PAPS. This condition may lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We present 2 patients with PAPS and ESRD who received a living unrelated kidney transplant. Despite intensive anticoagulant therapy, the disease recurred in the grafts.
