Thirty-six patients received allogeneic (34) or syngeneic (2) bone marrow transplants as treatment for severe aplastic anemia or acute leukemia. Nineteen of the allogeneic recipients received methotrexate (MTX) and 15 received cyclosporin A (CyA) as the predominant immunosuppressive agent to minimize graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) post transplant. In the first 100 d [day], post transplant renal dysfunction was much less frequent in the MTX recipients than in the CyA recipients who exhibited 3 distinct syndromes of nephrotoxicity; most commonly, CyA recipients developed asymptomatic azotemia, proteinuria, urinary casts, impaired urinary concentrating ability and hypertension. Secondly, 2 CyA recipients developed acute reversible renal failure precipitated by systemic bacterial infection which required dialysis and in which the kidney was the sole target organ: thirdly, 2 recipients of HLA-genotypically non-identical grafts developed a rapidly progressively fatal syndrome with multiple organ involvement including lung, brain and kidney which clinically and histologically resembled thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
