NODAT is increasingly prevalent. Compared with adult recipients, NODAT is less prevalent in pediatric renal transplant recipients; however, some risk factors for its development in young patients have been defined. We report four pediatric renal transplant recipients with ARPKD who developed NODAT . We review the current pediatric NODAT literature and hypothesize that ARPKD may be an additional risk factor for NODAT .
