Blood Pressure Target Achievement Under Monotheraphy. A Real-Life Appraisal

Introduction: Despite hypertension guidelines suggest that the most effective treatment strategy to improve blood pressure (BP) target achievement is to implement the use of combination treatment, monotherapy is still widely used in the clinical practice of hypertension.
Aim: To investigate BP control under monotherapy in the setting of real-life.

Expected and observed glomerular filtration rates in kidney transplant patients converted to once daily tacrolimus: 10 years of follow-up

The decline of allograft kidney function in the long term remains a significant issue in renal transplantation, with drug nephrotoxicity and cardiovascular complications as important risk factors. Our study aimed to evaluate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trend and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors over 10 years in a cohort of kidney transplant (KT) recipients converted from twice-daily (TD) tacrolimus (Tac) to once-daily (OD)-Tac. We enrolled 55 consecutive KT recipients who had been at the outpatient clinic between 2009 and 2011.
