   Introduction
 
Transplantation is a mode of therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) [1,2]; however, FSGS may recur in transplanted kidneys [1,2]. It is believed that without recurrence of FSGS in the primary renal allograft, subsequent allografts will be free of recurrent disease. We describe the case of a 20-year-old man who received his third renal allograft for end-stage renal disease due to FSGS, that was complicated by primary non-function and proteinuria due to probable first recurrent FSGS.
