Is Elevated Blood Pressure Level After Kidney Transplantation A Sign Of Organ Rejection?

I had a Kidney transplant 1/27/17. My recovery has been superior. My blood pressure is in the range of 130/75. I take it am and pm pre-meds. Today my pressure is 150/87. Could this be a sign of rejection? All other vitals excellent. No ankle swelling, urine out put and fluid input consistent and retention is excellent. Thank you, Mark

Hello,

It is not a sign of rejection and delayed rejection is very very unlikely. Consult a nephrologist and start on antihypertensives.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
