  1. eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated using the MDRD equation, sNGAL = serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. Delayed graft function defined according to the conventional definition: i.e. the need for dialysis during the first week after transplantation. Expanded criteria donor status defined according to Port et al. [28].
