What is the effect of calcium channel blockers on renal transplant recipients?
Calcium channel blockers have been shown to improve blood pressure control and reduce proteinuria in renal transplant recipients. Studies have also found that calcium channel blockers can improve renal graft function, reduce cyclosporine metabolites, and reduce hypertension. However, some studies have reported an increased risk of peripheral edema from calcium channel blockers, which should be monitored and discussed with a healthcare provider.
