There is a changing trend in mortality causes in kidney transplant recipients (KTR), with\na decline in deaths due to cardiovascular causes along with a relative increase in cancer mortality\nrates. Vitamin C, a well-known antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and immune system\nenhancement properties, could offer protection against cancer. We aimed to investigate the\nassociation of plasma vitamin C with long-term cancer mortality in a cohort of stable outpatient\nKTR without history of malignancies other than cured skin cancer. Primary and secondary\nendpoints were cancer and cardiovascular mortality, respectively. We included 598 KTR (mean age\n51 ± 12 years old, 55% male). Mean (SD) plasma vitamin C was����
