Nontraditional factors have shown to independently predict cardiovascular disease in this population such as albuminuria, anemia and graft rejection [39], time on dialysis before transplantation [40], donor history of hypertension [41], immunosuppressive regimen [42], quality of allograft function [43], elevated homocysteine [44], and C-reactive protein [8]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is anemia.
