Comparison of the change in allograft function after kidney transplantation between the non-AKI and AKI groups according to the diagnosis of AKI by the (a) KDIGO or (b) AKIN criteria in corresponding DDs. Please note that allograft function was significantly lower in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group by 6 months after KT, but these differences disappeared at 1 year after KT for any AKI criteria. c Comparison of the change in allograft function among the three groups; non-AKI by both criteria, AKI by KDIGO only, and AKI by both criteria groups. Please note that the changing pattern of allograft function in the AKI by KDIGO only group was very similar to that in the AKI by both criteria group. MDRD, the modification of diet in renal disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; AKI, acute kidney injury; DDs, deceased donors; KDIGO, kidney disease: improving global outcome; AKIN, acute kidney injury network; KT, kidney transplantation; d, day; m, month. ^*P < 0.05 compared with non-AKI group, ^†P < 0.05 AKI group by KDIGO only compared with non-AKI group, ^‡P < 0.05 AKI group by KDIGO and AKIN compared with non-AKI group
