Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: An awareness of the small but perpetual risk of recurrence facilitates early treatment that may save the transplant. Testing for hematuria and early transplant biopsies, and possibly monitoring of ANCA titers, are essential, but pretransplant ANCA titers have no predictive value in asymptomatic patients. Results of kidney transplantation in patients with vasculitis are as good as in other patients.
