Donors	Group 1 (𝑛=41); median (range)	Group 2 (𝑛=159); median (range)	𝑃 value
EBL (mL)	100 (25–400)	50 (5–300)	<0.0001^**+
LOS (days)	3 (2–4)	3 (1–5)	0.03^**+
Serum creatinine at discharge (mg/dL)	1.2 (0.9–1.9)	1.2 (0.6–2.2)	0.55**
Serum creatinine at 6 months (mg/dL)	1.2 (0.8–1.9)	1.2 (0.7–2.2)	0.69**

**Refers to 𝑃-values based upon the Mann-Whitney test, as the data did not fit into normal distributions following the use of transformations.
⁺Refers to statistical significance at the 0.05 level.
