AB  - Hypertension is a common and serious complication after renal transplantation. It 
      is an important risk factor for graft loss and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. 
      Blood pressure (BP) in transplanted children should be measured not only by 
      clinic BP (cBP) measurement, but also by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring 
      (ABPM), because ABPM has distinct advantages over cBP, specifically the ability 
      to reveal nocturnal, masked or white-coat hypertension. These types of 
      hypertension are common in transplanted children (nocturnal hypertension 36-71 %, 
      masked hypertension 24-45 %). It may also reveal uncontrolled hypertension in 
      treated children, thereby improving control of hypertension. Regular use of ABPM 
      and ABPM-guided therapy of hypertension may help to decrease cardiovascular and 
      renal target organ damage in transplanted children. Therefore, ABPM should be 
      routinely performed in all transplanted children at least once a year, regardless 
      of the values of cBP.
