Brief summary

Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced injury is known to be associated with immediate and long-term kidney dysfunction after renal transplantation. Protecting the kidney against I/R injury and maintaining renal function during renal transplant surgery is therefore very important in order to improve post-operative outcome. This purpose of this study is to investigate whether propofol anesthesia done in both kidney donors and recipients during deceased brain dead donor kidney transplantation is effective in reducing renal I/R injury via its antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties and improve post-transplant outcome compared to desflurane anesthesia.

Interventions

Desflurane balanced anesthesia induced with thiopental sodium, remifentanil and atracurium and maintained with remifentanil target controlled infusion and desflurane inhalation

Propofol total intravenous anesthesia induced with propofol, remifentanil and atracurium and maintained with remifentanil and propofol target controlled infusion

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The difference in inflammatory markers of recipients between groups during and after renal transplantation (CRP, WBC differential count, IL-6, TGF-β)Inflammatory markers are evelauted immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction1. Kidney donor: Inflammatory markers are evaluated immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction 2. Kidney recipient: (1) Inflammatory markers: Immediately after anesthesia induction, 2 and 24 hours after reperfusion (2) Renal function markers: Before anesthesia, 2 hours after reperfusion, immediate post-op, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The difference in renal function of kidney recipients between groups after renal transplantation (BUN/Cr, cystatin C, NGAL)immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction1. Kidney donor: Inflammatory markers are evaluated immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction 2. Kidney recipient: (1) Inflammatory markers: Immediately after anesthesia induction, 2 and 24 hours after reperfusion (2) Renal function markers: Before anesthesia, 2 hours after reperfusion, immediate post-op, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
The difference in global oxidative stress markers of recipients between groups during and after renal transplantation (Free Oxygen Radicals Testing, Free Oxygen Radial Defense)changes of Global oxidative stress markers from Immediately after anesthesia induction to 2 hours after reperfusion1. Kidney donor: Inflammatory markers are evaluated immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction 2. Kidney recipient: (1) Inflammatory markers: Immediately after anesthesia induction, 2 and 24 hours after reperfusion (2) Renal function markers: Before anesthesia, 2 hours after reperfusion, immediate post-op, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively
