Data expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidential interval (CI). CKD = chronic kidney disease based on National Kidney Foundation (NKF) guidelines, BMI = body mass index, BP = blood pressure, ACEi = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, ARB = angiotensin receptor blockers.

a

HDL cholesterol <40 mg/dl for males or <50 mg/dl for females

b

based on pre-transplant classification.
