BACKGROUND: It has been proposed that inherited risk factors of venous thromboembolism, such as factor V G1691A (FV-Leiden), prothrombin G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T, might be associated with poorer survival rates of transplanted kidneys. On the basis of this hypothesis, we performed a multicenter study, involving recipients of primary and repeat kidney transplants, to...
