Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier curves for graft survival and recipient survival. The risks of graft loss and recipient mortality were investigated using Cox regression analysis. Graft survival curves were plotted for the single renal artery (SRA) group and multiple renal arteries (MRA) group. The risk of graft loss did not increase in the MRA group compared with that in the SRA group (A). MRA were not associated with a risk of recipient mortality (B). SRA – single renal artery; MRA – multiple renal arteries. This figure was created by using EZR (Easy R) software version 1.68 (Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, Saitama, Japan).
