Summaries – Résumés Human renal isografts: A clinical and pathological analysis By Glassock, R.J.; Feldman, D.; Reynolds, E.S.; Dammin, G.J. and Merrill, J.P.: Medicine 47: 411 (1968). This report documents Peter Bent Brigham Hospital experience over 13 years with 22 patients receiving renal transplants from their presumed identical twin. Seventeen of the recipients had clinical and morphological evidence of glomerulo-nephritis. At the time of this writing, eleven had developed a recurrence of a similar disease in the isotransplanted kidney. Clinical and morphologic studies of the original disease identified the characteristics of patients carrying a high risk of recurrence. Recurrent glomerulonephritis was clinically characterized by protein-uria and hematuria and often by the subsequent development of the nephrotic syndrome and progressive renal failure. Glomerular hypercellularity was the most common histologic lesion associated with recurrence. Mesangial thickening was seen with and without clinical evidence of recurrence. Glomerular deposition of immunoglobulin G., Beta lc globulin and fibrinogen was associated with recurrent disease. By electronmicroscopy both subendothelial and subepithelial deposits were seen. It is concluded by the authors that recurrent glomerulonephritis in the recipient of renal isografts is most likely a manifestation of the same underlying process responsible for the original disease which led to transplantation.

Deposits of immunoglobulin and fibrin in human allografted kidneys By McKenzie, I.F.C. and Whittingham, S.: Lancet it: 1313 (1968). Eighty-two kidney sections from 28 human recipients of renal allografts were examined by immunofluorescence for deposits of immunoglobulin, complement and fibrin. Deposits of IgM and IgG, but not IgA were detected in vessels of all sizes; lining the endothelium, extending towards the media, and in larger vessels in the thickened intima. Linear and granular deposits were also present in glomeruli. Complement and fibrin were present but not albumin or alpb3⁄4macroglobulin. Of 49 sections examined during clinical rejection, immunoglobulin, complement and fibrin were demonstrated in a significant number when compared with the incidence in 14 non-rejecting kidneys. The demonstration of these deposits suggests that humoral antibodies may play an important role in the rejection of human allografted kidneys. Author’s address: Dr. I.F.C.

Summaries – Resumes 629 Plasma renin activity in aldosterone excretion, after renal homotransplantation By Greene, J.A.; Vander, A.J. and Kowalczyk, R.S.: J. Lab. and clin. Med. 71: 586 (1968). This study was performed to evaluate the effects of renal denervation on the renin response to sodium restriction and to the upright posture. Three patients who received renal homotransplantation 1 year or more previously, and their kidney donors were studied. Also, one recipient was investigated two months after renal transplantation. All patients were placed on a
