“…There are very few reports on the effect of renal transplantation on the lung function. In a study on 7 renal transplant recipients [6], there was no significant change in lung function tests performed 2-3 weeks after transplantation. Another cross-sectional study on different groups of ESRF patients [5] showed that those who had undergone transplantation had significant ly reduced RV, but no other differences in lung volumes or diffusion were observed.…”

“…Despite the ad vances in dialysis technology permitting prolonged sur vival for uremic patients, pulmonary abnormalities like hyperemia, bronchitis, and interstitial fibrosis were com monly found at autopsy in chronic hemodialysis patients [2] . Renal transplantation, while correcting the metabolic disturbances of ESRF, predisposes the patients to addi tional hazards like infections, side effects of immunosup pressive agents, and immunologically induced damages [3] , Although renal transplantation is commonly prac ticed nowadays, there are very few studies on the conse quences of ESRF of pulmonary function [4,5] and their changes following transplantation [5,6]. We, therefore, carried out a longitudinal study on the lung functions in ESRF patients and their changes following renal trans plantation.…”

“…However, in the majority of their patients lung involvement was secondary to causes other than renal failure. In a recent study of patients with end-stage renal disease, prepared for renal transplantation (but free of pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure), vital capacity and maximum voluntary ventilation were found to be within normal limits, although diffusing capacity of the lung was decreased, apparently due to anaemia (Zarday, Benjamin, Koerner, Veith, Gliedman & Soberman, 1973). No other lung function tests were performed.…”

“…Nevertheless, major derangements in pulmonary function tests are as a rule unusual in CRF without underlying cardiopulmonary disease or complications. In most patients, FEV 1 , VC and FEV 1 /FVC are within normal limits, although cases of a restrictive syndrome ormore rarely -of mild obstruction have also been reported [12][13][14][15][16]. VC can be more seriously affected if complications intervene (volume overload and incipient cardiac failure, extraosseus pulmonary calcification, pleural effusion, etc) [17].…”

“…The most common abnormality in pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a reduction in DLCO-sb that is seen in as many as 70% of dialyzed patients, often as an isolated finding, or coexisting with small airways disease [16,[22][23][24]. Changes in DLCOsb have been attributed to a reduction in the membrane component (Dm) with capillary blood volume (Vc) within normal limits [22,24].…”
