- Abstract
The article discusses research on the link between secondary syphilis and renal transplantation. It references a study by Nada Kanaan and colleagues, published in the August 26, 2008 issue of "NDT Plus." The researchers observed a male patient who received a kidney transplant due to end-stage renal disease, secondary to anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephropathy. They found that early diagnosis and adequate management are important when dealing with subtle manifestations of syphilis in a renal transplant recipient.
