Ambulatory blood pressure variations relative to sitting or standing position in renal transplant patients.

Objective: High blood pressure is almost constant in renal transplant patients for whom dysautonomia is frequently described. The main objective of this study was to analyse the variations in blood pressure and heart rate recorded by ambulatory measurement during changes in position in renal transplant patients.

Methods: Thirty-nine non-diabetic renal transplant patients with a renal transplant functioning for more than a year, were selected at random.
