Abstract
The blood-pressure in a group of forty patients on a renal replacement programme for at least 5 months (mean period 17 months) has been investigated. Sixteen had been on regular intermittent hæmodialysis and twenty-four had been treated by renal allotransplantation. Transplantation provided better results in respect of the blood-pressure. Bilateral nephrectomy in patients on dialysis and after transplantation is recommended for patients with persistent hypertension. In cases where hypertension persists in patients after transplantation and nephrectomy, chronic rejection or stenosis of the arterial anastomosis are usually responsible.
