With increasing experience and skill with renal transplantation and dialysis, many disorders that were previously thought to contraindicate these procedures are no longer regarded as contraindications.

Although incurable malignancies have usually been regarded as absolute contraindications, successful dialysis and transplantation have been achieved in a patient with chronic lymphatic leukemia.
