Successful Renal Transplantation for Epstein Syndrome

摘要

Successful cadaveric renal transplantation was accomplished in a patient with Epstein syndrome, a triad of macrothrombocy-topenia, partial high-frequency hearing loss, and nephritis, which often progresses to complete renal failure. The success of the transplant demonstrates that the macrothrombocytopenia which occurs in this syndrome is not a contraindication to aggressive management of end-stage renal disease.
