Background
Delayed graft function (DGF), caused by failure of the kidney to function properly after transplantation, has a lower incidence rate in living donor transplantation compared to deceased donor transplantation. The
Conclusions
Although, possibly due to living donor transplantation, none of the patient/donor characteristics could act as an explanatory factor for DGF; however, special attention is still required to target post-operation inflammation and oxidative stress, confirmed by relationship observed between DGF and urine NGAL levels on postoperative days.
