  1. The table indicates the number and percentage of patients who experienced systemic complications after kidney transplantation. Group Infected includes patients who went to transplant with persistence of at least one residual infectious focus in the oral cavity. Group Clear includes patients who arrived for transplantation in the complete absence of infectious foci in the oral cavity
