Intervals between acute periods of worsening of dyspnea (exacerbations) become shorter. Cyanosis (discoloration of the skin) and failure of the right side of the heart may occur. Anorexiaandweight lossoften develop and suggest a worse prognosis. ...
The survival rate of kidney transplant recipients is markedly inferior to that of the general population.
