Recurrence of DNAJB9-Positive Fibrillary Glomerulonephritis After Kidney Transplantation: A Case Series
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) is a rare glomerular disease that often progresses to kidney failure requiring kidney replacement therapy. We have recently identified a novel biomarker of FGN, DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 9 (DNAJB9). In this study, we used sequential protocol allograft biopsies and DNAJB9 staining to help characterize a series of patients with native kidney FGN who underwent kidney transplantation.
