Categorical variables were compared using Fisher’s exact test and data are presented as number (N). Continuous and ordinal independent variables were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test and data are presented as means and standard deviations. GN = glomerulonephritis; ADPKD = autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; RRT = renal replacement therapy; rATG = rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin; LRRT = living related renal transplant; LURT = living unrelated renal transplant; DDRT = deceased donor renal transplant.
