Mortality after kidney transplant. Atherosclerotic disease is the most common cause of death after transplant (44%) and outweighs the contributions from infection and malignancy combined (33%). Abbreviations: CBVD, cerebrovascular disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease.

4. Figure 3
Mechanisms by which hypertension after kidney transplant is mediated. A complex interplay exists resulting from decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR), vasoconstriction, and sodium retention that are variously adversely affected by immunosuppressive agents. Abbreviation: RAS, renin-angiotensin system.

5. Figure 4
Kidney function and choice of antihypertensive agent. The achieved glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients treated with calcium channel blockers is greater than for those treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (measured at 3 weeks and 1 and 2 years after transplant).
