Severe recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a very rare inherited disease with excessive blisters forming starting at birth. Surgical intervention in this population creates a challenge: preventing formation of new lesions while managing previously scarred tissues. We present a case of a 27-year-old patient with end-stage renal disease caused by rapidly progressive IgA nephropathy. Living donor kidney transplantation was performed under local, spinal and epidural anesthesia.Living kidney transplantation in epidermolysis bullosa patients with end-stage renal disease should not be a contraindication for transplantation and should be considered as a viable and feasible option after careful preparation.
