Table 2. Prevalence of histological abnormalities detected at time of kidney donation among living kidney donors.

Five types of histological abnormalities were identified at time of kidney donation: glomerulosclerosis (gs), interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA), mesangial matrix increase (mm), arteriolar hyalinosis (ah), and vascular fibrous intimal thickening (cv).
