Dynamic change in renal graft function after kidney transplantation. a. eGFR level in 56 patients (comparison between different time: 7 days vs 1 month, p = 0.002; 1 month vs 3 months, p = 0.002; 3 months vs 6 months, p = 0.043); b. eGFR in the BW ≤ 5 kg and 5 < BW ≤ 10 kg groups. A similar increasing tendency was seen in both groups; c. Relative eGFR growth rate in the BW ≤ 5 kg and 5 < BW ≤ 10 kg groups. Different relative eGFR growth rates were observed in the first year after transplantation. BW ≤ 5 kg vs 5 < BW ≤ 10 kg comparisons: 7 days_1 month: p = 0.034, 1 month_3 months: p < 0.001, 3 months_6 months: p < 0.001, 6 months_12 months: p = 0.019); d. Donor/recipient body weight ratio (p < 0.001 for BW ≤ 5 kg vs 5 < BW ≤ 10 kg comparison). BW, body weight; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate
