Objectives.
To determine the changes in blood pressure levels and antihypertensive medication use in the postrenal transplantation period compared to pretransplantation one.
Methods.
A comparative cross-sectional study was carried out on renal transplant recipients at the Kenyatta National Hospital, a national referral hospital in Kenya.
Sociodemographic details, blood pressure levels, and antihypertensive medication use before and after renal transplantation were noted.
Changes in mean blood pressure levels and mean number of antihypertensive medications after renal transplantation were determined using paired t-test.
Results.
85 subjects were evaluated.
Mean age was 42.4 (SD ± 12.2) years, with a male : female ratio of 1.9 : 1.
Compared to the pretransplant period, significantly lower mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels after transplantation were noted (mean SBP 144.5 mmHg versus 131.8 mmHg; mean DBP 103.6 mmHg versus 83.5 mmHg in the pre- and posttransplant periods, respectively, p<0.001).
Mean number of antihypertensive medications also reduced significantly after transplantation, with an average of 3.3 (±1.6) versus 2.1 (±0.9) in the pre- and posttransplant periods, respectively (p<0.001).
Conclusion.
There is a significant reduction in blood pressure levels and number of antihypertensive medications used after renal transplantation.
The positive impact of renal transplantation on blood pressure control should be confirmed using prospective cohort studies of patients with end stage renal disease who then undergo renal transplantation.
