However, there is scarce information on its control. Methods In this prospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study, we determined BP according to the recommended international standards in 921 liver transplant patients during one routine outpatient visit to assess their grade of control of BP. At the time of the study, 490 patients had been previously diagnosed with arterial hypertension and were receiving antihypertensive treatment, and 431 were not previously diagnosed as hypertensive. Results In the hypertensive group, arterial hypertension was uncontrolled (BP >140/90 mm Hg [>130/80 in diabetics]) in 158 (32%) patients and controlled in 332 (68%) patients. In a multivariate analysis, only diabetes was identified as a significant predictor of uncontrolled hypertension. Among patients not previously diagnosed as hypertensive, BP was increased in 106 (25%) and normal in 325 (75%). On multivariate analysis, the only variable independently associated with increased BP in this group was metabolic syndrome. Conclusion BP is not adequately controlled in a noticeable percentage of liver transplant patients, especially in subjects with diabetes or metabolic syndrome. 000130268 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000130268 590__ $$a3.781$$b2012 000130268 591__ $$aSURGERY$$b12 / 198 = 0.061$$c2012$$dQ1$$eT1 000130268 591__ $$aTRANSPLANTATION$$b7 / 26 = 0.269$$c2012$$dQ2$$eT1 000130268 591__ $$aIMMUNOLOGY$$b40 / 136 = 0.294$$c2012$$dQ2$$eT1 000130268 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000130268 700__ $$aPrieto, Jhon 000130268 700__ $$aBerenguer, Marina 000130268 700__ $$ade la Mata, Manuel 000130268 700__ $$aPons, José-Antonio 000130268 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7119-2244$$aSerrano, Trinidad$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130268 700__ $$aRafael-Valdivia, Lourdes 000130268 700__ $$aAguilera, Victoria 000130268 700__ $$aBarrera, Pilar 000130268 700__ $$aParrilla, Pascual 000130268 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-4672-8083$$aLorente, Sara 000130268 700__ $$aRubin, Angel 000130268 700__ $$aFraga, Enrique 000130268 700__ $$aRimola, Antoni 000130268 7102_ $$11007$$2610$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
