We tested if measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR, by chrome-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid clearance) was associated with urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) post-HTx in a subgroup of patients included in the Scandinavian Heart Transplant Everolimus De Novo Study With Early Calcineurin Inhibitor Avoidance trial, where de novo HTx patients (n = 115) were randomized to EVR with complete CNI elimination 7 to 11 weeks post-HTx or standard CNI immunosuppression.
