Research Article: De novo normotensive scleroderma renal crisis six years after living-donor renal transplantation in a patient with overlapping systemic sclerosis/systemic lupus erythematosus syndrome: a case report
Abstract:
Scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) is a critical kidney involvement of systemic sclerosis (SSc), often resulting in end-stage renal disease. Although the recurrence of SRC in the allograft has been reported, the development of de novo SRC after kidney transplantation has not been reported. Furthermore, normotensive SRC, which rarely occurs, makes prompt diagnosis more challenging. This fact should be recognized widely among nephrologists.
