Continuous variables are presented as mean (± standard deviation) or median (interquartile range) unless otherwise stated. Parametric data were compared with an unpaired t-test. Non-parametric data were compared using the Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test. Binomial data were compared using a Persons coefficient.

*

UO > 600 mL 6 h post transplantation.

**

UO < 600 mL 6 h post transplantation.

FST: Furosemide stress test; K+: potassium; MAP: mean arterial pressure; HD: dialysis; SE: standard error.
