Central Blood Pressure and Pulse Wave Velocity in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Sponsor: Children's National Research Institute
Summary
An observational cohort study will be conducted to non-invasively investigate central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity in children with kidney disease and controls. Using an oscillometric monitor, the investigators aim to non-invasively obtain the central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity (PWV), or arterial stiffness, of children with kidney disease. The investigators will also enroll age- and race-matched healthy controls and measure the same parameters for comparison. In addition, the investigators will measure PWV by standard arterial tonometry method in a subset of patients.
