Determinate instant and after 1-month non-dipper effect in hypertense patients after renal transplant by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in Hospital General de Zona No. 50, San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Descriptive, longitudinal and prospective cohort study of a non-probability convenience sampling in post-transplant patients with hypertension. We collected data from MAPA and includes age, sex, cardiovascular risk factors in variables. Use of central tendency and dispersion measures for descriptive analysis and t Student for inferential analysis. 19 patients were included, 11 male (57.9%) and 8 females (42.1%), with age range 20 to 49 years (median of 30.2 years ± 7.7). Where the non-dipper effect in the first take was 89.5% and in the second take 84.2%. There is a high frequency of the non-dipper pattern in patients at one month of kidney transplant, the persistence of this hypertension may be, among others, by the use of immunosuppressants. A new category for non-dipper classification is described.
