Abstract
Recurrence of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS) after renal transplantation may occur in both cyclosporin A (CyA) and non-CyA-treated patients, and in patients receiving anti-lymphocyte globulin. We report a case of recurrent HUS in an 8-year-old boy who received Orthoclone (OKT3) combined with prednisolone and azathioprine therapy on receipt of his first cadaveric renal allograft. Despite avoidance of CyA therapy irreversible HUS occurred.Keywords
