https://www.selleckchem.com/ Hypertension in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients is common, affecting both patient and graft survival. Annual data from the Norwegian Renal Registry reveal that In conjunction with the 2018 annual data reporting, additional questions were added for recipients with BP >130/80 mm Hg (treating physician´s target BP for each patient, reasons for not achieving target, method of measurement). Annual forms were received from 98% (3407 of 3486) of KTx recipients, with 1787 (52%) reporting a BP >130/80 mm Hg ("above-target" group). These recipients were older, mostly male, with higher body mass index and serum creatinine levels (  < 0.05) compared with patients with controlled hypertension ("on-target" group). Valid survey answers were available for 84% of the "above-target" group (Surv ) with no significant demographic differences versus nonresponders (Surv ). Among Surv , 32% were under antihypertensive dose titration, whereas dose-limiting side effects were reported in 7%. Target BP was confirmed to 130/80 mm Hg for 60% of Surv . In recipients for whom the treating physician set target BP >130/80 mm Hg, 51% did not reach these individual targets. The number of antihypertensive drugs was significantly higher in the "above-target" group versus "on-target" group (mean 2.1 ± 1.2 versus 1.8 ± 1.3) and 36% versus 25% used ≥3 antihypertensive drugs (  < 0.05). Automatic attended BP measurement was utilized by 51%. In KTx recipients, a higher BP target achievement seems possible, potentially in the range of 75%-80%. In KTx recipients, a higher BP target achievement seems possible, potentially in the range of 75%-80%.During the global outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, "cytokine storm" conditions are regarded as the fatal step resulting in most mortality. Hemoperfusion is widely used to remove cytokines from the blood of severely ill patients to prevent uncontrolled inflammation induced by a cytokine storm.
