Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension is a common comorbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease and on renal replacement therapy. Given the heterogeneity of study methods, the true disease burden of pulmonary hypertension and its impact on kidney transplant outcomes is unclear. The pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease and on maintenance dialysis is multifactorial. Patients with significant pulmonary hypertension being evaluated for kidney transplantation will benefit from a multidisciplinary approach in the pre-transplant evaluation and risk stratification to optimize their outcomes.
