Hypertension is, in a minority of cases, secondary to an identifiable cause. In this context, the aetiology of the blood pressure elevation is essential since it may be treatable.

While highly effective, their use is associated with significant toxicity, requiring careful management. Tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor, is linked to nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, metabolic disturbances such as diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular complications such as hypertension and arrhythmias.
