Data are presented as mean ± SD or number of cases. *Evaluation of the biopsies was based on the Banff ’07 acute and chronic indices, including presence of glomerulitis, TG, mesangial matrix expansion (based on silver stain), degree of PTC congestion, extent of interstitial fibrosis (based on trichrome stain) and tubular atrophy, vascular pathology, and deposition of C4d.
