| Baseline: cyclosporin A (Yes) | 51 | |
| Baseline: eGFR class 4+5 | 20 | |
| Baseline: eGFR class 3b | 41 | |
| Baseline: eGFR class 3a | 43 | |
| Baseline: eGFR class 2+1 | 29 | |
| UCF (patients) | 48 | |
| FCF (patients) | 73 | |
| Donors: KT age (y) | 44.91 | 13.42 |
| Recipients: KT age (y) | 48.41 | 11.72 |
| Follow-up time (m) | 21.3 | 16.9 |
| Recipient baseline age (y) | 50.9 | 12.45 |
| Time from KT to biopsy (m) | 3.1 | 0.7–9.26 |
| Time from KT to baseline (m) | 11.4 | 3.8–42.8 |
| Baseline eGFR (ml/min) | 48 | 37–59.5 |
| ΔΔCt – the measure of the expression of Toll-like receptors (see “Method”); DGF – delayed graft function; eGFR – estimated glomerular filtration rate; FCF – favorable course of follow-up; KT – kidney transplantation surgery; m – months; No – number of participants. Q25–Q95 – margins of lower and upper quartiles; SD – standard deviation; UCF – unfavorable course of follow-up; y – years. | ||
