A total of 20 patients were recruited. When comparing recipients of a living donor transplant to recipients of a deceased donor transplant, significant differences were noted for developing delayed graft function, duration of ischemia, and length of posttransplantation hospital stay. , CVA = cerebrovascular accident, SAB = subarachnoid bleeding, CA = cardiac arrest, OHCA = out of hospital cardiac arrest, AMI = acute myocardial infarction.
