Long-term Cardiovascular Risk Following Successful Renal Transplantation

The Prevalence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients More Than 10 Years Following Successful Renal Transplant.

Mineral metabolism disturbances occur early during the course of chronic kidney disease and eventually affect most patients. For how long such disturbances persist after a successful renal transplantation is mainly unknown. This study will investigate the prevalence of such disturbances in patients more than 10 years following a successful renal transplantation. The patients will be recruited from an existing registry in Norway.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Registered in the Norwegian Renal Registry
• Documented elevated iPTH at Tx and 10 weeks post-tx
• Well functioning transplant 10 years following tx
