Description
Summary:	Of patients who developed end-stage renal disease secondary to sickle cell anemia (SCA), some have undergone renal transplantation with reasonable success. We recently cared for a patient with SCA and a functioning, transplanted kidney who experienced a permanent decline in renal function three and one-half years following transplant. The evaluation of his renal dysfunction revealed multiple features to support recurrence of sickle cell nephropathy as the cause for the deterioration.
