SUSTAINED IMPROVEMENT OF RENAL GRAFT FUNCTION FOR TWO YEARS IN HYPERTENSIVE RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS TREATED WITH NIFEDIPINE AS COMPARED TO LISINOPRIL1

Background. Treatment of posttransplant hypertension is still a matter of debate. Calcium antagonists may ameliorate renal side effects of cyclosporin. Angiotensin converting enzyme- (ACE) inhibitors may be more effective in sustaining renal function in native chronic renal disease. We prospectively
