207 8 BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF A PREOPERATIVE DIET ( P= 0.057), POD6 ( P= 0.037), and POD14 ( P= 0.020), with an average decrease of 70% in the CCPR group compared with 40% in the control group (Figure 3B). Absolute eGFR values did not differ between groups throughout the postoperative period (Figure 3C), while relative eGFR showed a trend towards better values in the CCPR group on POD 6 ( P= 0.032) (Figure 3D).

Systemic inflammatory markers in living kidney donors before and after kidney donation. (A) Levels of systemic inflammatory marker C-reactive protein before and after live kidney donation were not significantly different between the CCPR and the control group. (B) Levels of leukocytes did not significantly differ between both groups either, and only reached high- normal levels on POD1 after surgery. Values are depicted as median ± interquartile range. CCPR = combined calorie and protein restriction; POD = postoperative day.
