Prevalence of hypertension and uncontrolled hypertension after solid organ transplantation: a 5-year follow-up of the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Hypertension (HTN) increases cardiovascular risk and is a frequent finding across all solid organ transplant recipients. We describe the prevalence of HTN and uncontrolled HTN, as well as details on pharmacologic treatment of HTN across solid organs transplant recipients up to five years after transplantation.

Methods

This retrospective study is nested in the prospective Swiss Transplant Cohort Study ( www.stcs.ch ) that includes kidney, heart, lung, and liver transplantation. Data extraction from 2008 to 2019 was used for this study and follow-up data at 6, 12 and 60 months was analyzed.

Results

A total of 3865 transplant recipients were included for analysis. The prevalence of HTN at 6 and 60 months was 88.9% and 90.4% in kidney ( P  = 0.21), 61.8% and 76.
