Abstract
Arterial hypertension (HT), secondary to cyclosporine A (CsA) used as main immunosuppressive treatment in renal transplantation (RTx), is very frequent (70%), usually severe and explained mostly by vasoconstriction of the glomerular afferent arteriole with secondary sodium and water retention. In a retrospective study, we have analyzed 294 consecutive recipients receiving a first renal cadaveric allograft and all treated with CsA (the majority with triple therapy). We studied, by molecular biology, the polymorphism of genes previously implicated in essential HT such as: angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE: II, ID and DD), angiotensinogen (AGT: MM, MT and TT), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R: AA, AC and CC) and endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS: aa, ab and bb), and correlated the data to the prevalence and severity of post-Tx HT. This cohort included 195 (66%) males and 99 females with a mean age of 42 years at time of Tx. The presence and severity of post-Tx HT were indicated by initial persistent blood pressure over 140/90 mmHg with the need for at least one anti-hypertensive drug and by the number of anti-HT medications required to achieve its control. The distribution of the specific alleles and geno...Continue Reading
