Causes of death and graft failure after transplantation and their impact on the total number of patients.

Event	N	% to total events	% to initial cohort
Death	102	100	10.8
Infection	36	35.3	3.8
Cardiovascular	31	30.4	3.3
Neoplasia	16	15.7	1.7
Early complications	10	9.8	1.1
Surgical	6	5.9	0.6
Clinical	4	3.9	0.4
Other	9	8.8	0.9
Unknown	7	6.8	0.7
Gunshot wounds	1	1.0	0.1
Cirrhosis	1	1.0	0.1
Losses	115	100	12.2
Chronic rejection	46	40.0	4.9
Acute rejection	21	18.3	2.2
Thrombosis	20	17.4	2.1
Recurrence	19	16.5	2.0
Other	9	7.8	0.9
Primary nonfunction	3	2.6	0.3
Pyelonephritis	2	1.7	0.2
Unknown	1	0.9	0.1
Biopsy complication	1	0.9	0.1
Cirrhosis	1	0.9	0.1
Polyoma nephropathy	1	0.9	0.1

Early complications: events that occurred in the 28 days following the transplant surgery, without the recipient having had renal graft function.
Primary nonfunction: patients who presented acute tubular necrosis after transplantation without the recovery of function within 3 months of follow-up.
Loss occurred after a graft biopsy complication as an adverse major event.
