Posttransplant glomerulonephritis is a complication of kidney transplant that can impair graft function and long-term graft survival. De novo immunoglobulin A disease in kidney allografts appears to be much less common than the recurrent disease, and in most cases it is diagnosed in protocol biopsies with no clinical evidence of disease or in association with other renal transplant pathologies such as chronic rejection. We present a case of de novo immunoglobulin A nephropathy presenting with overt proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, and progressive deterioration of renal function 30 months after renal transplant.
