Predictive factors of anemia within the first year post renal transplant.

Background: The aim of our study was to identify the independent factors that might predict anemia at 6 (M6) and 12 (M12) months posttransplantation.

Methods: Postrenal transplant anemia (PTA) was defined as having a hemoglobin (Hb) level below 13 g/dl for men and below 12 g/dL for women. In this study, we included all the recipients who received a renal transplant in 2001 at our department, and for whom the graft was still functioning 1 year later (n=92).
