Abstract excerpt
Increased serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels have been associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality after kidney transplantation. As genetic variations within the CRP gene determine CRP serum levels, we analyzed the association of both serum CRP levels, and post-transplant morbidity/mortality with CRP-genotypes/haplotypes. We determined CRP levels pretransplant, at 3 and 6 months post-transplant in...
