Extra-respiratory comorbidities and transplantation in the French cystic fibrosis registry.

We highlight the need for specific surveillance and prevention for transplanted CF patients who were already treated for extra espiratory comorbidities before lung transplantation, due to the potential aggravation of their comorbidities after transplantation.
