BACKGROUND The development of chronic kidney disease is a common complication after a lung transplantation, especially since the introduction of immunosuppressive treatments based on calcineurin inhibitors. Many of these patients reach end-stage renal disease and even need renal replacement therapy. Among the different options of renal replacement therapy, we consider kidney transplantation as a feasible option for these patients. METHODS A single center, observational retrospective study including 8 lung transplanted patients who have received a kidney transplant in the period between 2013 and 2017 with at least 1 year of follow-up was used. RESULTS Seven patients maintained an adequate function of the graft 1 year after kidney transplantation, and 1 patient died because of a pulmonary condition in spite of a previous kidney transplant. Two patients presented delayed graft function in the first days after surgery. CONCLUSIONS The kidney transplantation is a technique of renal replacement therapy that should be considered in patients with previous lung transplantation. Experienced centers in double sequential lung and kidney transplantation should be established to assess and treat these types of patients.
