Measurement of glomerular filtration rate in lung transplant recipients highlights a dramatic loss of renal function after transplantation

Abstract

The present study underlines the value of mGFR in the pre-LT stage and found major renal function loss after LT, and consequently two-thirds of patients have Stage ≥3 CKD at 1 year. All patients with a pre-LT mGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m² warrant particular attention.
