Abstract
End-stage renal disease developed in a 37-year-old Saudi patient who d onated a kidney to his brother 11 years previously. Biopsy of the rema ining kidney showed focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis. Dialysis suppo rt was needed, and finally the patient received a living-nonrelated ki dney transplant. The allograft function in the recipient brother remai ns very good 11 years after transplantation.
