Table 2 Peri-transplant and 20-year changes in renal function and urinalysis.
| Parameters | Pre-transplantation (n=44) | At post-transplant day 1 (n=44) | At post-transplant 3 months (n=44) | At post-transplant 20 years (n=26) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low urine output <1 L/day (n) | 0 | 4 (9.1%) | 0 | 2 (7.7%) |
| Proteinuria (n) | 7 (15.9%) | 22 (50.0%) | 1 (2.3%) | NA |
| Hematuria (n) | 11 (25.0%) | 43 (97.7%) | 3 (6.8%) | NA |
| High serum creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL (n) | 4 (9.1%) | 22 (50.0%) | 4 (9.1%) | 8 (30.8%) |
| Low eGFR <60 mL/min (n) | 8 (18.2%) | 30 (68.2%) | 11 (25.0%) | 14 (53.9%) |
| eGFR – estimated glomerular filtration rate; NA – not available. | ||||
