  1. RTX, patients after kidney transplantation; HD, patients on maintenance hemodialysis; SD, standard deviation; SDNN, 24-h SD of normal R-R intervals; SDANN, SD of the average normal R-R interval for all 5-min segments of a 24-h ECG recording; RMSSD, the square root of the mean of the squared differences between adjacent normal R-R intervals. Values are means ± SE. *P < 0.05
