Residual urine output (ml/day)	400 (0-3000)	500 (0-3000)	200 (0-2500)	0.04
Marginal donor number (N (%))	20 (28%)	8 (26%)	12 (30%)	0.79
Donor age (years)	48 ± 12	44 ± 14	51 ± 9.5	0.02
Preterminal donor serum creatinine (μmol/l)	86 ± 40	85 ± 40	86 ± 40	0.87
Donor acute kidney injury (N (%))^b	13 (18%)	5 (16%)	8 (20%)	0.76
Cold ischemia time (hours)^c	17.5 ± 5.6	15.5 ± 4.5	19 ± 5.8	0.006
Anastomosis time (minutes)^d	47 ± 17	44 ± 16	49 ± 17	0.21
Donor kidney length (cm)	11.5 ± 1	11.8 ± 1.1	11.3 ± 0.8	0.04

^aResults are presented as mean ± SD for normally distributed parameters, median (range) for non-normally distributed ones and number of recipients (percent) for nominal variables.
^bDefined as pre-terminal rise of donor serum creatinine for 25% or more.
^cDefined as the period from the start of cold perfusion of aorta in the donor till the establishment of blood flow through the allograft in recipient.
^dDefined as the time period from removal of the allograft from the cold solution till the establishment of blood flow through the allograft in recipient.
