Figure 1 Time course of the patient's urine protein to osmolality ratio, serum creatinine (mg/dL), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; mL/min/1.73 m2), and serum albumin (S. Alb; g/dL) values after kidney transplant is shown. Arrows indicate the time of transplant biopsies. Conversion factor for units: serum creatinine concentration in mg/dL to μmol/L, ×88.4; eGFR in mL/min/1.73 m2 to mL/s/1.73 m2, × ; serum albumin in g/dL to g/L, ×10.

Figure 2 (A) Periodic acid–Schiff–stained section shows mild or no mesangial expansion. (B) Congo Red stain shows positive staining along the artery and mild mesangial staining. (C) Positive serum amyloid A stain in an artery, interstitium, and glomerulus (A-C: original magnification, ×20). (D) Electron microscopy shows amyloid fibrils in a glomerulus (original magnification, ×46,000).
