Improving kidney function during donor anesthesia

Renal Graft Functional Enhancement During Donor Anesthesia: A Comparative Study of 3 Modalities

NA · Cairo University · NCT03778944

This study tests whether giving Mannitol, Dopamine, or extra fluids during anesthesia can help improve kidney function for patients receiving a kidney transplant from a living donor.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of three different interventions—Mannitol infusion, Dopamine infusion, and adequate hydration—on enhancing the function and perfusion of transplanted kidneys during donor anesthesia. It aims to determine which approach best supports renal graft function in patients undergoing living-donor kidney transplantation. The study focuses on patients with end-stage renal disease and compares the outcomes of the different anesthetic regimens.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals with end-stage renal disease who are scheduled for living-donor kidney transplantation.

Not a fit: Patients with severe cardiac or hepatic dysfunction or coagulopathy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved kidney function and outcomes for patients receiving transplants.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies focusing on renal graft function, the specific combination of interventions in this study is relatively novel.
