Differences test in continuous variables were analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test; differences in categorical variables were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test. WBC, white blood cell; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CVD, cardiac vascular disease; HDL, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; IVIg, intravenous immunoglobulin; rATG dose, rabbit anti-human thymocyte globulin (Thymoglobulin® 25 mg/bolus), we also used ATG-F, anti-human T lymphocyte rabbit immunoglobulin (Grafalon®, 100 mg converted to rATG in two boluses) and ALG, porcine anti-human lymphocyte immunoglobulin (250 mg/bolus, converted to rATG in one bolus).
