About this study

Official title: A Comparative Analysis of Ray-Tech Sponge and Ice Bag Techniques in the Elimination of Warm Ischemic Time in Kidney Transplantation

Warm ischemia during kidney transplantation is one of the important factors that negatively affect kidney function in the recipient. The investigators aimed to examine the effects of two techniques (Ray-Tech sponge technique and Ice bag technique) applied to protect the kidney from warm ischemia during kidney transplantation on long-term kidney function.

Read the detailed description

A prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted at Istanbul Okan University Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. All participants were selected from those who underwent kidney transplantation between January 2020 and January 2023.

Being tested
surgery, Ray-Tech sponge technique

    Also called Simple plastic bag to preserve kidney from warm ischemia

    In order to preserve kidney from warm ischemia during graft implantation, on the back table, graft were prepared for implantation with standard techniques. The kidney was introduced into the bag which was filled with a small amount of ice and preservation fluid (Figure 1). After inplacement of the graft, a small hole was made near the hilum and the renal artery and vein were passed through the hole. A Kocher clamp was used to maintain the fluid and ice in place and as a handle. Also, a Hartman Mosquito Clamp was used to mark urether-side, and to maintain orientation.

  • Ray-Tech sponge techniqueOther

    On the back table, graft were prepared for implantation with standard techniques. A Raytech sponge is soaked in ice-cold preservative solution, and wrapped around the kidney and held with a clamp (Figure 2). Position and oriantation of the graft was done by direct vision of urether.

  1. Creatinine decrease

    Serum creatinine levels at 7th, 30th, 60th, and 180th days after operation were evaluated

    Measured: 6 months

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Creatinine decrease (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06611189, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Sep 2024.
