eGFR = estimated-Glomerular Filtration Rate, eGFR–CKD-EPI (mL/min per 1.73 m2); PTH = parathyroid hormone; CNI = calcineurin inhibitors; a one-year post-transplant data available for 462 patients; b mean ± standard deviation (SD); c median (interquartile range); d number (%); e p-value by student-t test; f p-value by Mann-Whitney U test; g p-value by chi-square test; p-values in bold indicate statistical significance.
