Additional research is warranted for the clinical significance of post-transplant hypertension and related antihypertensive medication use in kidney transplant (KT) recipients.
Methods
This observational study included nationwide KT recipients who maintained a functioning graft for at least 1 year after KT in South Korea, observed between 2008 and 2017. The use of antihypertensive medications lasting between 6 months and 1 year was the main exposure, and those who had inconsistent/transient use of antihypertensive drugs were excluded. The prognostic outcome included death-censored graft failure (DCGF), death-with functioning graft (DWFG), and major adverse cerebrocardiovascular events (MACCEs).
Results
We included 8,014 patients without post-transplant hypertension and 6,114 recipients who received treatment for hypertension in the post-transplant period. Those with post-transplant hypertension had a significantly higher risk of DCGF than those without [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.27 (1.09–1.48)]. Post-transplant hypertension patients who required multiple drugs showed a significantly higher risk of DWFG [HR 1.57 (1.17–2.10)] and MACCE [HR 1.35 (1.01–1.81)] than the controls. Among the single-agent users, those who received beta-blockers showed a significantly higher risk of DCGF, although the risks of DWFG or MACCE were similar between the types of antihypertensive agents. Among the multiple agent users, the prognosis was similar, regardless of the prescribed types of antihypertensive agents.
Conclusion
Post-transplant hypertension was associated with poor post-transplant prognosis, particularly when multiple types of medications were required for treatment. During initial prescription of antihypertensive medication, clinicians may consider that beta-blockers were associated with a higher risk of DCGF in the single-agent users.

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.
Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.
Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.
Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
