Abstract | Purpose of review: To review the current literature regarding hypertension (HTN) following pediatric solid organ transplant (SOTx), including definition, prevalence, risk factors, outcomes, and treatment. Recent findings: In recent years several new guidelines for the definition, monitoring, and management of pediatric HTN have been published, but with no specific recommendations regarding SOTx recipients. HTN remains highly prevalent, yet underdiagnosed and undertreated in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients, especially when ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is utilized. There are little data regarding its prevalence in other SOTx recipients. HTN in this population is multifactorial and is associated with HTN status prior to Tx, demographic factors (age, sex, and race), weight status, and immunosuppression protocol. HTN is associated with subclinical cardiovascular (CV) end-organ damage, including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and arterial stiffness, yet there are no recent data regarding its long-term outcomes. There are also no updated recommendations regarding the optimal management of HTN in this population. Given its high prevalence and the young age of this population facing years at increased CV risk, post-Tx HTN requires more clinical attention (routine monitoring, frequent application of ABPM, better BP control). Additional research is needed for a better understanding of its long-term outcomes as well as its treatment and treatment goals. Much more research is needed regarding HTN in other pediatric SOTx populations. |
