Abstract
We describe a patient who received a living related kidney transplant that worked very well initially but developed oliguria and renal failu re within 1 week and required dialysis. Clinical and hemological chang es, as well as renal biopsy, confirmed the diagnosis of cyclosporin-in duced hemolytic uremic syndrome. The patient did not respond to antire jection therapy or plasma exchange but did respond to the withdrawal o f cyclosporin A and the commencement of FK 506.
