Abstract
A 49-year-old Black woman with hypertension and kidney failure of unknown etiology underwent deceased-donor kidney transplantation. The donor was a 27-year-old Black man with fibromyalgia and depression who died of lymphocytic myocarditis, per the autopsy report. The donor had terminal creatinine of 0.6 mg/dl, unremarkable urinalysis, a Kidney Donor Profile Index of 23%, positive IgG for Epstein-Barr virus, and otherwise negative routine screening for infectious diseases. The recipient, who had no family history of kidney disease, was maintained on prednisone, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil.
