In this review discuss multi-factorial etiology post-transplant hypertension, highlighting current uncertainties emphasizing mechanisms specific recipients. We consider optimal means monitoring BP particular, advantages 24 h-ABP over intermittent clinic measurements. also treatment after transplantation, drawing attention cautions appropriate when prescribing antihypertensive agents circumstances.
