Influence of the new immunosuppressive combinations on arterial hypertension after renal transplantation. Arterial hypertension is highly prevalent after renal transplantation and may contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease. Also, arterial hypertension has been reported to be an independent risk factor for graft failure. Immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids, cyclosporine and tacrolimus may be important contributing factors to post-transplant hypertension. Recent data from multicenter trials and from conversion studies (cyclosporine to tacrolimus) suggest that renal transplant patients under tacrolimus-based therapy showed less arterial hypertension compared with cyclosporine treated patients. New immunosuppressive drugs, including mycophenolate mofetil and rapamycin, are not nephrotoxic and they do not have any hypertensive effect. New immunosuppressive combinations including mycophenolate mofetil in a triple therapy regimen (associated with corticosteroids and cyclosporine) can reduce blood pressure so that corticosteroids can be stopped or cyclosporine reduced or even eliminated. Non-nephrotoxic regimens using rapamycin (sirolimus) as basic immunosuppression, associated with azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil, could reduce the incidence of post-transplant arterial hypertension. Also, in renal transplant patients initially immunosuppressed with rapamycin, cyclosporine and corticosteroids, after the elimination of CSA, a lower blood pressure is achieved. In summary, new protocols with mycophenolate mofetil and/or rapamycin may permit several combinations that offer important alternatives to classical immunosuppressive regimens to reduce the incidence and clinical impact of arterial hypertension after renal transplantation.
