However, there is insufficient evidence regarding clinical outcomes, and current guidelines lack specific recommendations for its management. Methods: This single-center retrospective study included all patients who underwent LTx and were subsequently referred to a dedicated nephrology outpatient clinic. Major adverse renal events were defined as a composite event. Results: Eighty LTx recipients with underlying lung disease etiology such as cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or interstitial lung disease were included. The mean time from LTx to first nephrologist evaluation was 4.7 years with an eGFR of 31.7 mL\/min\/1.73 m2. LTx recipients experienced a 48% reduction in eGFR within the first few months after LTx. Rapid progressors require renal replacement therapy earlier than the slow progressors. Patients requiring dialysis had higher all-cause mortality compared to those who did not require dialysis. Conclusions: Early post-LTx functional impairment appears to be the most significant predictor for CKD progression and the eventual need for RRT. Although CNI toxicity is the most common cause of CKD, early nephrology evaluation can uncover other causes and promote early renoprotective measures. For this patient population, specific guidelines addressing CKD after LTx and a multidisciplinary approach are essential.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14072241","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]],"date-time":"2025-03-25T12:18:52Z","timestamp":1742905132000},"page":"2241","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Chronic Kidney Disease After Lung Transplantation in Spain: A Retrospective Single-Center Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Maria Luisa","family":"Serrano Salazar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Instituto de Investigacion Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda-Segovia Arana, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1689-3347","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Almonacid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Marques Vidas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Instituto de Investigacion Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda-Segovia Arana, 28222 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Medicine Department, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, IDIPHISA, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4332-5759","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula","family":"L\u00f3pez-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Instituto de Investigacion Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda-Segovia Arana, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beatriz","family":"S\u00e1nchez Sobrino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Instituto de Investigacion Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda-Segovia Arana, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myriam","family":"Aguilar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8228-9396","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucia","family":"Rubio Arboli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine Department, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, IDIPHISA, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-7615-1115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo","family":"Mart\u00ednez Morales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Instituto de Investigacion Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda-Segovia Arana, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3342-7628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Huerta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Instituto de Investigacion Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda-Segovia Arana, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Valdenebro Recio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Instituto de Investigacion Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda-Segovia Arana, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piedad","family":"Ussetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2114-1385","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose","family":"Portoles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, Instituto de Investigacion Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda-Segovia Arana, 28222 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Medicine Department, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, IDIPHISA, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Organizaci\u00f3n Nacional de Trasplantes (2025, March 21).
