Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) can recur after renal transplantation and is associated with a reduced graft survival. In the case of recurrent FSGS, treatment with plasma exchange (PE) results in a remission of proteinuria in up to 85% of patients, especially if started shortly after the onset of recurrence [1,2]. However, many patients require repeated courses of PE because of frequent relapses [1,3]. Recently, a 7-year-old boy with recurrent FSGS after renal transplantation responded to rituximab, a monoclonal antiCD20 antibody, that was administered for a transplantationrelated lymphoma [4]. Following this report, several other cases with recurrent FSGS after renal transplantation were published, showing varying degrees of success after treatment with rituximab [5]. We describe the results of treatment with rituximab in a 24-year-old female patient, with recurrent FSGS after renal transplantation.
