The majority of cyclosporine-treated lung transplant recipients develop new-onset hypertension or hypercholesterolemia early after transplantation. Pre-transplant blood pressure, serum cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels are independent predictors of post-transplant hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes, respectively.
