Early post-transplant de-novo pauci-immune necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis occurring within the first week post transplantation has not been reported according to the literature search done by us. Here, we are reporting a 56 years male patient who underwent living spousal donor kidney transplantation for presumed diabetic nephropathy, and developed pauci-immune necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis (NCGN) on sixth day post-transplant. Post-renal transplant recurrence of disease in ANCA-associated vasculitis patients occurs within days to months. However, development of de-novo pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis is a rare occurrence. We report this patient who developed probable pauci-immune de-novo NCGN which responded to treatment with plasmapheresis, steroids and cyclophosphamide.
