| Numerical data were summarized as mean±standard deviation along with median (minimum–maximum), whereas frequency and percentage, n (%), were used for categorical data. values were obtained by Kruskal-Wallis test (a), chi-square test (b), Mann-Whitney U test (c). Group HC, healthy control group; Group LDT, living donor transplantation group; Group CDT, cadaver transplantation group. BMI – body mass index; CAD – coronary arterial disease; CKD – chronic kidney disease; COPD – chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; DM1 – type 1 diabetes mellitus; DM2 – type 2 diabetes mellitus; HT – hypertension, NA – not available. | |||||
