Longitudinal follow-up on vascular morphology and function in children with kidney transplants.

Aim: Our aim was to evaluate cardiovascular risk profile in 42 children with kidney transplants (KT) at the Queen Silvia Children's Hospital, Gothenburg Sweden.

Methods: Forty-two children (7.1-18 years) with KT, time from transplantation 3.

Longitudinal Follow-Up on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Capacity Related to Cardio-Metabolic Risk Factors in Children With Renal Transplants.

Children with chronic kidney disease, including those treated with kidney transplantation (KT), have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to examine the cardiopulmonary exercise capacity after KT compared to matched controls, to relate the results to physical activity, blood pressure and biochemical findings and to follow exercise capacity over time. Patients with KT ( = 38, age 7.
