This study was based on 20 subjects who had received renal transplants for end-stage renal failure. They had an average age of 50.75 and a range of 29-72 years (Table 1); 65% were male. The average serum creatinine level was 143.5 µmol / L and the range was 73-364 µmol / L at the time point of collection. The average collection day post-transplant was 333.25 days and the range was 21-1597 days. Immunosuppressant therapies were defined using the Vasudev Index [29].
