Abstract
Hypertension after renal transplantation is a strong predictor of patient and graft survival, but European guidelines for treatment of post‐transplant hypertension have not yet been put forward. However, with the present knowledge, including data from recent intervention studies, there is a basis for future therapy guidelines. Here we address some important aspects of hypertension and its treatment after kidney transplantation.Keywords
