Hypertension after renal transplantation
Original language description
Hypertension is a common and serious complication after renal transplantation. It is an important risk factor for graft loss and morbidity and mortality of transplanted children. The etiology of posttransplant hypertension is multifactorial: native kidneys, immunosuppressive therapy, renal-graft artery stenosis, and chronic allograft nephropathy are the most common causes. Blood pressure (BP) in transplanted children should be measured not only by casual BP (CBP) measurement but also regularly by ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). The prevalence of posttransplant hypertension ranges between 60% and 90% depending on the method of BP measurement and definition. Left ventricular hypertrophy is a frequent type of end-organ damage in hypertensive children after transplantation (50-80%). All classes of antihypertensive drugs can be used in the treatment of posttransplant hypertension. Hypertension control in transplanted children is poor; only 20-50% of treated children reach normal BP.
