Format is absolute value (percent within group). ESRD = end-stage renal disease, FSGS = focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, IgA = IgA nephropathy, Mem = membranous nephropathy, MPGN = membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, Lupus = lupus nephritis, IQR = interquartile range, MMF = mycophenolate mofetil, CDC = Center for Disease Control high-risk kidney, DCD = donated after cardiac death, KT = kidney transplant, HCV = hepatitis C virus, CIT = cold ischemia time, WIT = warm ischemia time, post-op = postoperative, PVD = peripheral vascular disease Each number in the second column represents a specific surgeon who performed the operation.
