Figure 4. Size discrepancy in human renal transplantation.

Deceased donor renal transplants (n = 46,691) were stratified into deciles on the basis of donor/recipient BW ratio and analyzed for association with DGF. The extremes of size mismatch on both ends of the curve were associated with increased DGF risk (bars). The magnitude of these effects on DGF was smaller than recipient sex effects in every decile except the smallest donor/recipient ratio (circles).
