    Author: Minz M, Sharma A, Mahawar K, Heer M, Kashyap R.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2005 Jan; 53():43-5. PubMed ID: 15857012.
    Abstract:
    Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is an autosomal dominant multisystemic disease involving primarily the skin, the brain and the kidneys. Inspite of the kidney being involved in 40-80% of patients with this disease, the incidence of end stage renal disease is only about 1%. There are only 34 reported cases of successful renal transplantation in tuberous sclerosis patients with end stage renal disease. We report a case of successful renal transplantation in a patient of tuberous sclerosis with bilateral polycystic kidneys presenting with renal failure who also underwent bilateral native nephrectomies on follow up.
