Anemia is prevalent after kidney transplantation (KTx) and is associated with reduced graft survival. The associations between temporal changes in hemoglobin (Hb) level in the early posttransplant period with left ventricular (LV) and atrial (LA) function and strain are unknown. The study cohort inc...
