Aortic Stiffness, Arterial Calcification, High Blood Pressure (& [Essential Hypertension])
Conditions
Brief summary
Central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity were measured using a Complior Analyse device in Short and Long-term after kidney transplantation.
Interventions
DEVICEDevice: Complior Analyse System
Monitoring of Arterial Stiffness and Central Aortic Pressure
The device measured the size of total body water (TBW), fat mass (FM%), visceral fat%, fat free mass (FFM), and basal metabolic rate (BMR) (kcal).
