Abstract
Dialysis after lung transplantation is common and cumulative over time. Risk factors for its development may be modifiable because they appear to be linked to nephrotoxicity secondary to immunosuppression. The low threshold for creatinine clearance appears to be 50 ml/min/1.73 m2. Survival after institution of dialysis is poor, highlighting the need for prevention. Renal transplantation may be a reasonable therapeutic option.
