Key result
Abnormal nocturnal BP patterns affect ~95% of kidney transplant recipients and predict graft loss and CV events.
Why the study?
Hypertension is common and associated with adverse cardiovascular and graft-related outcomes after kidney transplantation, with distinct features including elevated nocturnal blood pressure and abnormal dipping patterns.

Warrants routine out-of-office BP monitoring in KTRs; extends evidence on distinct post-transplant hypertension features driving CV risk.
Nocturnal hypertension is highly prevalent in kidney transplant recipients and serves as a strong prognostic marker for cardiovascular and graft-related adverse outcomes.
Georgiou et al. (2026) studied this question. Elevated nocturnal blood pressure and abnormal dipping patterns affect up to 95% of kidney transplant recipients and strongly predict accelerated graft loss and cardiovascular events.
