  • IKIMeasured was defined as an increase of SCr by ≥0.30 mg/dL or an increase ≥1.5 times from baseline to end-harvest (IKIMeasured) or combined with self-reported kidney injury (IKIReported) among dropouts (IKIAll). Continuous eGFR analysis from mixed effects linear regression adjusting for sex and age category.

  • Bold indicate changes significant at p<0.05.

  • *Unadjusted.

  • eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate ; IKI, incident kidney injury; RR, risk ratio; SCr, serum creatinine.
