Zusammenfassung: | Posttransplant hypertension: Studies of cortical blood flow and the renal pressor system. Thirteen hypertensive and six normotensive posttransplant patients were studied 6 to 28 months after grafting. No significant differences in prednisone dosage, incidence of pretransplant hypertension, remaining diseased kidneys, glomerular filtration rate, type of donor or original renal disease existed between groups. Using a 133Xe-xenon washout technique, hypertensive patients had lower mean renal blood flow, 130 + 18 ml/100 g/min, and cortical blood flow, 211 + 15 ml/100 g/min, than the 260 ± 24 and the 414 ± 37 ml/100 g/min, respectively, (P < 0.01) recorded in the normotensive group. There was no significant difference in intrarenal blood flow distribution between the groups. Transplant vein renin activity was significantly greater in hypertensive patients on a 10-mEq sodium diet, 22.71 ± 6.2 ng/ml/hr, than in the normotensive group, 4.89 ± 1.1 ng/ml/hr, on a similar sodium intake (P < 0.05), while urinary aldosterone excretion was elevated in both groups. Renin activity and aldosterone excretion could be suppressed into the normal range by high salt diet. Four instances of transplant artery stenosis were found in the 13 hypertensive patients by angiography, while 8 of the remaining 9 patients had pathologic evidence of intrarenal vascular or parenchymal disease, or both. Posttransplant hypertension should be actively investigated with controlled sodium intake so that proper medical or surgical therapy can be implemented.
Hypertension artérielle après transplantation: Étude du débit sanguin cortical et du système hypertenseur rénal. Treize malades hypertendus et six malades normotendus après transplantation rénale ont été étudiés 6 à 28 mois après la greffe. Il n'y avait pas de différence significative entre les deux groupes dans la posologie de la prednisone, l'incidence de l'hypertension avant la transplantation, les reins lésés restants, le débit de filtration glomérulaire, le type de donneur ou la maladie rénale initiale. Avec une technique de lavage du xénon-133, les malades hypertendus avaient des débits rénaux moyens et corticaux plus faibles que ceux obtenus dans le groupe normotendu (130 ± 18 ml/100 g/min et 211 ±15 ml/100 g/min au lieu de 260 ± 24 et 414 ml/100 g/min, P < 0,01). Il n'y avait pas de différence significative entre les groupes dans la distribution intra-rénale du débit. L'activité rénine de la veine rénale du transplant était significative |
