A case of polycythemia following renal transplantation is described. The polycythemia, which was associated with high erythropoietin levels, reverted to normal after bilateral nephrectomy of the patient's own glomerulonephritic kidneys. It is concluded that polycythemia following renal transplantation is not always due to the allograft.
