Patient characteristics and biochemical parameters
Male preponderance [F/M: 124 (47%)/140 (53%)] with mean age 45±13
years was observed. Clinical and laboratory parameters are summarized in
Table 1. The main renal replacement treatment was hemodialysis in most
cases, whereas 14% (n=37) of patients were treated with peritoneal
dialysis before renal transplantation. The median duration of follow-up
post-transplantation was 6.7±4.8 years (range, 1–33 years).
