C3 deposition was positive at 5 years post-transplantation.

Kidney function is stable 9 years after transplantation.

Recurrence of GN with isolated C3 deposits 5 months later after kidney transplantation and TMA 4 years later. Six years later, kidney function was stable with regular plasma therapy.
