Clinical features of organ function at pretransplant assessment

Organ	Variable	Mean (SD); range
Heart	Mean left ventricular wall thickness^2-150(cm)	1.8 (0.3); 1.3–2.4
	Mean limb lead ECG voltage (mV)	0.32 (0.03); 0.28–0.35

Liver	Bilirubin (μmol/l)	22 (9); 13–40
	Alkaline phosphatase (IU/l)	169 (86); 65–328
	Aspartate transaminase (IU/l)	51 (60); 19–209

Kidney	Serum creatinine (μmol/l)	150 (112); 84–460
	Blood urea (mmol/l)	11 (7); 6–30
	Creatinine clearance (ml/min)	51 (27); 13–86
	Proteinuria^2-151 (g/24 h)	1.13 (2.27); 0–7.43

Diuretic treatment	Frusemide daily dose (mg)	156 (136); 40–500

↵2-150 Mean left ventricular wall thickness for each patient was derived from the sum of interventricular septal thickness plus left ventricular posterior wall thickness divided by 2.
↵2-151 Five patients had proteinuria of more than 0.5 g/24 h, and three had no detectable proteinuria.
