2.4. Prediction of eGFR Using mtDNA Variables
mtDNA variables were tested in a univariable manner in a linear mixed model for eGFR till two-year follow-up (The absolute slope of mtDNA was not a significant predictor for the baseline or slope of the eGFR model. The slope of mtDNA was divided in two distinct categorical groups, namely a declining and increasing group. The increasing ND6 group had a higher baseline of eGFR (10.26 mL/min) compared to the declining group (Significant univariable mtDNA variables were integrated in a multivariable crude model, which was based on significant predictor variables of the donor, recipient, and transplantation (
