Abstract
End-stage renal disease developed in a 37-year-old Saudi patient who donated a kidney to his brother 11 years previously. Biopsy of the remaining kidney showed focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis. Dialysis support was needed, and finally the patient received a living-nonrelated kidney transplant. The allograft function in the recipient brother remains very good 11 years after transplantation.Keywords
