In end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, the most common cause of mortality and morbidity are cardiovascular events. This could be attributed to the impaired baroreflex function observed in this group of patients. The effect of renal transplantation (RT) on the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in ESRD patients has been inadequately addressed. Therefore, we investigated baroreflex function and its relation to arterial stiffness indices and cardiovascular variability parameters (heart rate and blood pressure variability--HRV and BPV) in ESRD patients before and after transplantation to decipher the underlying mechanism of attenuated BRS in ESRD patients.
