Renal Function Decline in Recipients and Donors of Kidney Grafts by Bahous, Sola Aoun

“…Results: Decline in renal function was estimated at 1-year post-transplantation and annually thereafter (median follow-up 8 years, range 3.6-18.3), as the mean of the annualized decrease in the glomerular filtration rate. In recipients, filtration rate decreased by 4.8 ± 19.7 ml/min/1.73 m2 the first post-transplant year and at a yearly rate of 2.2 ± 3.8 ml/min/1.73 m2 thereafter. …”
