title: Chronic dialysis in a patient with cystic fibrosis.
abstract: To our knowledge this is the first case reported in the literature of a patient with cystic fibrosis and end-stage renal disease, who was on dialysis for 2 years. We discuss here the possible mechanisms responsible for what has been called 'the cystic fibrosis nephropathy' and its consequences.
