Protein and calorie restriction may improve outcomes in living kidney donors and kidney transplant recipients.

The PCR-donors showed a trend towards better absolute creatinine concentrations ( Figure 1A ); Relative creatinine concentrations were significantly better on POD2 ( P =0.030), POD3 ( P =0.042) and POMo1 ( P =0.040, Figure 1B ).

Cystatin C, as a marker of kidney function independent of muscle mass, showed no significant difference before or after the PCR-diet nor postoperatively; however, concentrations of Cystatin C did show on average a decreasing trend in PCR-donors on POD3 compared to controls ( P =0.062, Figure 1E ).
