Abstract:
The course of blood pressure and antihypertensive treatment (AHT) was studied in 27 renal transplant recipients immunosuppressed with cyclosporine-A (CyA) as monotherapy. At the time of transplantation 13 patients received AHT and 14 were normotensive. The final outcome of transplantation and CyA immunosuppression was 19 patients without AHT, 4 with reduced AHT and 3 with unchanged doses of AHT, while in 1 case a de novo mild hypertension necessitated diuretic treatment.
