After solid organ transplantation, be it renal or non-renal, renal function loss is common [1–4]. In renal transplantation, chronic renal function deterioration as an important cause of long-term graft loss is well recognized [1]. In this population, studies aimed at elucidating its mechanisms and improving long-term renal allograft prognosis are performed. Whereas in recipients after non-renal solid organ transplantation progressive renal function loss is an important problem as well, the knowledge on renal morbidity in these populations is relatively limited and scattered. Improvements in non-renal solid organ transplantation have led to improved patient and graft survival. The burden of renal morbidity in these populations grows by the increasing number of recipients, and by the increasing number surviving long enough to develop clinically significant renal problems. Therefore, it becomes mandatory to develop renoprotective strategies in these high-risk . . . [Full Text of this Article]
