What is the recommended blood pressure goal for kidney transplant recipients?
The Work Group judged that a target of <130 mm Hg systolic, using standardized of ce measurement, remained a reasonable goal for kidney transplant recipients. A higher target SBP, such as 140 mm Hg, was in the opinion of the Work Group too high given the preponderance of evidence from RCTs demonstrating survival and CV bene ts of tar- geting SBP <130 mm Hg in the general population. In contrast, the Work Group judged that a lower SBP goal, such as 120 mm Hg, may not be appropriate for kidney transplant recipients without further data on the risks and bene ts of targeting this level of BP in this population.
