Background: Few studies have examined the possible role of blood pressure (BP), independent of acute rejection and graft function, on outcomes after kidney transplantation.
Methods: We investigated the prevalence, treatment, control, and clinical correlates of hypertension and its association with outcomes, using multivariate analyses with time-dependent covariates, in a retrospective cohort of 1,666 kidney transplant recipients.
Results: Hypertension was common, and its control was poor.
