Cardiovascular disease after renal transplantation is often the expression of a disease process that first started with the onset of renal dysfunction many years before, and its prevention starts with the early predialysis phase of chronic renal failure and with the aggressive treatment of hypertension and dyslipidemia. The evidence that dialysis treatment itself accelerates arterial damage is poor. After transplantation, however, many patients are restored to a state not of normal renal function but of chronic renal impairment and have drug-induced hypertension and dyslipidemia, resulting in a vastly increased risk of atherosclerosis. Further research is required on optimal strategies to prevent or ameliorate cardiovascular disease, to establish the roles of lipid-lowering and antihypertensive therapies after transplantation and to define immunosuppressive ad hoc treatments for each kind of patient.
