[Frequency of cardiovascular risk factors in renal transplant patients (author's transl)].
The incidence of cardiovascular risk factors was studied in 83 renal transplant recipients: 84.3% showed at least one cardiovascular risk factor, hyperuricaemia was found in 42.2%, hypertension in 39.7%, hypercholesterolaemia in 31.3%, hypertriglyceridaemia in 27.7%, diabetes mellitus in 19.3%, obesity in 14% and nicotine abuse in 13.2% of the patients. Patients aged from 30 to 39 and 40 to 49 showed a mean incidence of 2.7 and 2.9, respectively out of the 7 investigated cardiovascular risk factors. The results demonstrate that renal transplant patients are a high-risk group for the development of degenerative cardiovascular diseases.
