Popis: Arterial hypertension is an established risk factor for cardiovascular complications. Since the introduction of calcineurin inhibitors (CNI), аrterial hypertension is observed in 50-80% of transplanted patients. Arterial hypertension and transplantation are closely linked, and its association may promote impaired graft and overall survival. We summarize the main mechanisms involved in the genesis of CNI-induced hypertension as follows: impaired renal function with the sodium retaining, endothelial dysfunction, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic activation, production of vasoconstrictor substances, activation the renal Na+/Cl--cotransporter. Attention is focused on the dose-dependent increase in arterial pressure and the need for further study of the intensity of the pro-hypertensive effect of various calcineurin inhibitors.
