[Hypertension syndrome in kidney transplantation]

Removal of the recipient's own kidney is indicated in cases with non-controlled arterial hypertension before and after transplantation of the kidney with the exclusion of chronic rejection and stenosis of the transplant artery. Embolization of the renal arteries is indicated to patients of high surgical risk. Roentgen-endovascular catheter dilatation of the stenosed artery of the transplanted kidney allows the operative treatment of recipients with chronic rejection of the transplant to be avoided. Surgical correction of stenosis is indicated to patients with a short-term hypotensive effect after dilatation.
