Very Early Severe Posttransplant Recurrent Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Glomerulonephritis after Kidney Transplantation: Two Case Reports by Reda Laamech, Hamza Naciri-Bennani, Diane Giovannini, Johan Noble, Bénédicte Janbon, Paolo Malvezzi, Thomas Jouve, Lionel Rostaing

“…We report two cases of extremely rapid recurrent AAV after renal transplantation; both were still ANCA-positive at the time of transplantation, which led us to question the pathogenesis of ANCA antibodies in recurrence in a kidney allograft. Apheresis plus immunosuppressive therapies were ineffective in the first case and the patient became dialysis-dependent, whereas in the second case methylprednisone pulses plus rituximab infusions resulted in long-lasting remission.…”
