Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The PLUTO trial will determine whether the incidence of abnormal and dangerous bloodstream electrolyte levels in paediatric kidney transplant recipients will be different with the use of PlasmaLyte-148 compared to intravenous fluid with current standard composition.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of the PLUTO trial are to determine if the following complications will be different with the use of PlasmaLyte-148 compared to intravenous fluid with current standard composition: - Unpleasant symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache - Fits (seizures) - Fluid overload in the patient's body - Time to discharge from hospital - High blood sugar levels - Transplant kidney function;Primary end point(s): Acute hyponatraemia in the first 72 hours post-transplant (defined as plasma sodium concentration < 135mmol/l);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: First 72 hours post-transplant

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Symptoms of acute hyponatraemia (nausea, vomiting, headache, seizures) within the first 72 hours post-transplant • The degree of fluid overload experienced (defined as proportional increase in patient weight between pre-transplant weight and maximum weight in 72 hours post-transplant weight) • Time to discharge from hospital (measured from transplant operation start time (“knife to skin”)) measured in days • Transplant kidney function at 1, 3, 7 and 90 days (determine by creatinine and height at transplant to determine eGFR) • Other electrolyte abnormalities within the first 72 hours post transplantation: o Hypernatraemia (defined as plasma sodium concentration > 145mmol/l) o hyperkalaemia (defined as plasma potassium concentration > 5.5mmol/L) o hypokalaemia (defined as plasma potassium concentration 5.5 mmol/L) o hypomagnesaemia (defined as plasma magnesium concentration 107mmol/L) o excessive rate of reduction in plasma sodium concentration (defined as >1mmol/L/hour averaged over 6 hours) o excessive magnitude of reduction in plasma sodium concentration (defined as > 10mmol/L from pre-transplant level) • Maximum systolic blood pressure (normalised to age and height percentile) sustained on 3 repeated values on each day, for 3 days post-transplant
