Scale and nominal variables were depicted as mean (SD) and median [Q1; Q3] and number (percent), respectively. The Mann–Whitney test was used for the evaluation of intergroup differences. Abbreviations: cAMR: chronic antibody-mediated rejection; SGF: stable graft function; FBS: fasting blood sugar; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; BUN: blood urine nitrogen; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; WBC: white blood cell.
