SUMMARY After the hemolytic-uremic syndrome, a 17-year-old girl elected renal transplantation. Two A-matched kidneys from sisters were rejected. The second kidney was donated by a 21-year-old sister who, 3 weeks after left nephrcctomy, also developed the hemolytic-uremic syndrome. This represents the first report of the hemolytic-uremic syndrome occurring in related adults. The familial occurrence of the disease should be considered when selecting kidney donors for patients with renal failure after the hemolytie-uremic svndrome.
