    Abstract:
    Five children with end-stage reflux nephropathy underwent kidney transplantation at our clinic. Reflux nephropathy was studied clinically and histologically. All children had proteinuria before starting hemodialysis, and hypertension was present in 2 cases. Three children underwent antireflux operations prior to transplantation. The original kidneys exhibiting reflux were removed during renal transplantation. All original kidneys exhibited atrophy and scarring. Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis was found in 4 cases. PAS deposition in the interstitium, suggestive of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein, was found in all cases. No recurrent signs of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis have been found in the children who have been followed up from 1 to 6 years after transplantation.
