Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our objective is to describe the prevalence of CVD risk factors applying standard criteria and use of CVD risk factor lowering medications in contemporary KTRs. The Folic Acid for Vascular Outcome Reduction in Transplantation study enrolled and collected medication data on 4,107 KTRs with elevated homocysteine and stable graft function an average of 5 years post-transplant. CVD risk factors were common (hypertension or use of blood pressure lowering medication in 92%, borderline or elevated LDL or use of lipid-lowering agent in 66%, history of diabetes mellitus in 41%, and obesity in 38%); prevalent CVD was reported in 20% of study participants. National Kidney Foundation blood pressure (BP) guidelines (BP < 130/80 mm Hg) were not met by 69% of participants. Uncontrolled hypertension (BP of 140/90 mm Hg or higher) was present in 44% of those taking anti-hypertension medication; 18% of participants had borderline or elevated LDL, of which 60% were untreated, and 31% of the participants with prevalent CVD were not using an anti-platelet agent. There is opportunity to improve treatment and control of traditional CVD risk factors in kidney transplant recipients.
