Dropouts were contacted (87%) and reported the reason for leaving work. Cross-harvest incident kidney injury (IKI) was defined as serum creatinine increase \u22650.30 mg\/dL or \u22651.5 times the baseline value, or among dropouts reporting kidney injury leading to leaving work.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Mean cross-harvest estimated glomerular filtration rate change was significantly associated with workload, increasing from 0 mL\/min\/1.73 m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      in the low-moderate category to \u22125 mL\/min\/1.73 m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      in the high and \u22129 mL\/min\/1.73 m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      in the very high workload group.
