Abstract A patient showing antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) with severe vasculitis, and massive proteinuria after kidney transplantation was treated with deoxyspergualine (DSG, Spanidin®, Nippon Kayaku). DSG showed marked efficacy for this patient’s symptoms. We report on a patient for whom DSG was effective against AMR after renal transplantation.
