Characteristics associated with NSG tuft volume in living kidney donors compared with patients who underwent a tumor nephrectomy

Clinical Characteristic Unadjusted Test for Interaction

24-h urine protein per doubling, mgb 2.4 <0.001 4.1 <0.001 0.11
Tumor volume per doubling 0.9 0.11

SD: 9.6 cm for height, 5.3 kg/m2 for body mass index (BMI), and 19.5 ml/min for eGFR.

a

For patients with renal tumor, the change in the % difference for age up to 75 years compared with age >75 years was significant (P=0.04).

b

Total N does not add up to 2453 or 780 because of missing data (n=2003 for donors, n=545 for patients with renal tumor).
