Results Hypertension occurred in 55 out of 86 patients.There was a significant difference of average blood pressure and the occurrence of abnormal ST segment or T wave between day and night whereas no significant change was observed in blood CsA concentration,blood creatinine,serum cholesterol,blood sugar,triglyceride and K+,N+,Cl-,TCO 2,Ca 2+ ,etc. Conclusions Cardiovascular complications in kidney transplant recipients is related to the high blood pressure during night,the normal day-night blood pressure rhythm being violated.It is not related to the immunosuppresives used.
