Factors associated with a higher need for antihypertensive medications at 12-months in postkidney transplant recipients: a retrospective cohort study.

At one year post transplantation, about a third of the KTRs required had DTC HTN. These patients were more likely to be older, males, diabetics, previously hypertensive, on greater than or equal to 2 HTN medications at 1-month post-KTx, and to have abnormal baseline pretransplant CV imaging.
