A patient showing antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) with severe vasculitis, and massive proteinuria after kidney transplantation was treated with deoxyspergualine (DSG, Spanidin((R)), Nippon Kayaku). DSG showed marked efficacy for this patient's symptoms. We report on a patient for whom DSG was effective against AMR after renal transplantation.
