Abstract
We report the case of a 36 year-old-patient, hemodialyzed for idiopath ic membranous glomerulonephritis, who suffers from type I membranoprol iferative glomerulonephritis five years after a successfull kidney tra nsplantation. Etiologic evaluation evidenced chronic viral hepatitis C complicated by type III cryoglobulinemia. If hepatitis C induced memb ranoproliferative glomerulonephritis has yet been described among non transplanted patients, it is at our knowledge, the first observation i n a renal transplant recipient.
