[Observation on the course of arterial hypertension after kidney transplantation].
The behavior of blood pressure was investigated in 65 transplantation (Tx) patients in a nephrological outpatient service for an average of 18.6 months after Tx. Before Tx 2/3 of the patients exhibited hypertension, after Tx this was reduced to 1/2. No correlation was found between behaviour of blood pressure and such factors as renal function, incidence of rejection episodes, prednisolonee dose, diabetes mellitus and urinary function, incidence of rejection episodes, prednisolon dose, diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infection of the Tx. Only in patients with glomerulonephritis as original renal disease there was in increased incidence of hypertension before and after Tx. Causes of hypertension are discussed and demonstrated in the case of Tx arterial stenosis.
