What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    dexmedetomidine was infused at a rate of 0.4 μg/kg/h starting immediately after anesthetic induction and continued until skin closure.

  • placeboDrug

    0.9% NaCl was infused at a rate of 0.4 μg/kg/h starting immediately after anesthetic induction and continued until skin closure

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Serum creatinine level

    Measured: postoperative 7 day

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. incidence of delayed graft function

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

  2. level of serum creatinine

    Measured: maximum 30 days before surgery, 1 hour after surgery, 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 5 day, 7 day after surgery

  3. blood urea nitrogen (BUN)

    Measured: maximum 30 days before surgery, 1 hour after surgery, 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 5 day, 7 day after surgery

  4. cystatin C

    Measured: maximum 30 days before surgery, 1 hour after surgery, 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 5 day, 7 day after surgery

  5. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL)

    Measured: maximum 30 days before surgery, 1 hour after surgery, 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 5 day, 7 day after surgery

  6. urine output

    Measured: during surgery, 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 4 day, 5 day, 6 day, 7 day after surgery

  7. fluid intake(intraoperative intake and output measured by the amount of fluid(crystalloid/colloid)(mL) and blood administered(mL))

    Measured: during surgery, 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 4 day, 5 day, 6 day, 7 day after surgery

  8. kidney ultrasound

    Measured: 1 week, 1 month after surgery, if possible

  9. inflammatory mediator (IL-18, Il-1b) level

    Measured: immediately after induction, immediately after vessel clamp, immediately after reperfusion, 1hour after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine in people with Kidney Transplantation, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
