A: Demographic and clinical features of study subjects and study time points. The half-life graft survival (1/2 GS) provided information about renal function between ITx and GF. Data are presented as n (%) and mean ± SD. GF, graft failure; ITx, islet transplant; LTSS, enrollment in the long-term surveillance study; LV, last visit on follow-up; YFUP1-4, yearly follow-ups 1–4; the half-life graft survival provided information about renal function between ITx and GF. B: Renal function at the time of ITx, GF, study enrollment, and follow-up. The eGFR was calculated based on the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and presented as mean ± SD, median and range. C: Rate of decline of the eGFR. Each circle represents an ITx recipient; solid circles symbolize the changes in eGFR at ITx vs. last visit follow-up, and open circles symbolize the changes in eGFR at GF vs. last visit follow-up. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. D: Albumin excretion. Albuminuria was determined by the urine albumin–creatinine ratio (UACR) from first morning spot urine samples. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *Significant P values vs. GF after Dunn's test correction for multiple comparisons.
