Effect of Reduced Sympathetic Hyperactivity on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Kidney Transplantation Patients
Conclusions:
Reduction of sympathetic hyperactivity by nephrectomy improved blood pressure control as well as decreased arterial stiffness and left ventricular hypertrophy over long-term follow-up. These results support native renal denervation to prevent the harmful effects of sympathetic hyperactivity on the cardiovascular system of renal transplant recipients.
