The article focuses on long-term aftercare of organ transplant patients. In aftercare, the side effects of immunosuppression therapy required by patients are important factors in determining the long-term prognosis and quality of life. Many patients develop arterial hypertension requiring treatment during immunosuppressive therapy. It is stated that blood pressure management is crucial in hypertension to prevent long-term complications including renal insufficiency and cardiovascular diseases.
