    The incidence and early recurrence after transplantation prove the specificity of the appearance of an electron dense alteration of kidney basement membrane often called dense intra-membranous deposit disease. Three new cases with dense deposit disease affecting the original kidneys have been followed-up after transplantation for periods ranging from 4 to 8 years and illustrate the natural history of the recurrence. Serial kidney biopsies showed the predominance of dense deposits near the mesangial area and the vascular pole. These deposits were also seen in some tubular basement membranes. Absence of cell proliferation was noted in all biopsies performed. Immunofluorescence studies revealed fixation of C3 alone. Histological signs of recurrence are compatible with the absence of clinical and biological signs. Transient or permanent proteinuria and microhematuria were common findings. Serum complement levels, measured after transplantation, were low in all three cases. Despite recurrence of the original glomerulonephritis, long-term survival of the graft was commonly observed, two cases being followed-up for 7 and 8 years. Patients with dense intra-membranous deposits glomerulonephritis should not be excluded from a transplantation program. One of the three cases reported here illustrates the exceptional association of recurrence of dense intramembranous deposits, de novo membranous glomerulonephritis and chronic rejection.
