Five pathologic variants of FSGS were recently defined ("Columbia classification"), but the stability of these phenotypes in renal allografts remains unknown. We hypothesized that if the variants represent distinct diseases, then the pattern of recurrent FSGS in renal allografts will mimic the original disease in the native kidney. This multicenter study included 21 cases of recurrent FSGS from 19 patients who...
