BACKGROUND: Sleep--disordered breathing (SDB) is considered a strong risk factor for hypertension in the general population. This disturbance is common in end--stage kidney disease patients on long--term hemodialysis and improves early on after renal transplantation. Whether SDB may be a risk factor for hypertension in renal transplant patients is unclear.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sleep--disordered breathing (SDB) is considered a strong risk factor for hypertension in the general population. This disturbance is common in end--stage kidney disease patients on long--term hemodialysis and improves early on after renal transplantation. Whether SDB may be a risk factor for hypertension in renal transplant patients is unclear.
