Abstract:BackgroundDelayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation is associated with adverse patients and allograft outcomes. A longer duration of DGF is predictive of worse graft outcomes compared to a shorter duration. Posttransplant serum β2‐microglobulin (B2M) is associated with long‐term graft outcomes, but its relationship with DGF recovery is unknown.MethodsWe included all kidney‐only transplant recipients with DGF enrolled in the E‐DGF trial. Duration of DGF was defined as the interval between the tr… Show more
