Recipients' posttransplant biochemical parameters were collected and compared against donors with scaled mGFR >80 ml/min/1.73 m² (Group 1) and with mGFR between 60 and 80 ml/min/1.73 m² (Group 2). Donor-recipient pair age, anthropometric parameters, and their differences were also assessed against the immediate transplant outcome. Posttransplant immediate graft function was assessed by posttransplant nadir serum creatinine, day to achieve nadir serum creatinine, the incidence of slow graft or delayed graft function, and serum creatinine at 1-month posttransplantation.
