Key result
Cardiovascular and kidney disease frequently co-occur and drive mortality in pediatric organ transplant recipients.
Cardiovascular disease is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients following solid organ transplant. CKD is also common in pediatric patients after a solid organ transplant, and the link between CKD and cardiovascular morbidity is strong. In this review, we examine potential etiologies to explain the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in pediatric solid organ recipients and identify targets for improving outcomes.

Johnson et al. (2018) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. Cardiovascular disease and CKD etiologies was evaluated. Cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease are closely linked common causes of morbidity and mortality in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients.
