- Abstract:
- Hypertension is extremely prevalent after renal transplantation, affecting up to 70% of all patients. An elevation in blood pressure is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk and may also contribute to chronic allograft failure. Renal transplantation provides interesting insights into the pathogenesis of hypertension. Experimental and human data show that the kidney is an essential organ for blood pressure regulation. In clinical practice a differential diagnosis that is based on excretory allograft function has proved useful.
