4
Rationale: Clients who are identified post–kidney transplant to have hyperlipidemia should be treated with a lipid-lowering agent and a therapeutic diet to prevent cardiovascular disease. Hyperlipidemia is reported in about 90% of clients post–kidney transplant. Hypertension, which may result from sodium retention caused as an adverse side effect of medications, may also contribute to cardiac risk along with diabetes. Peripheral neuropathy is not caused by hyperlipidemia.
