Brief summary

Organ donors included in the study are randomized to a control group or an intervention group receiving 2.5 mg/kg of cyclosporine A before organ procurement. Harvested kidneys from these patients are transplanted to chronic kidney insufficiency patients. According to the pretreatment of the transplant, delayed graft function during the first week was evaluated as well as kidney function at different timepoints and mortality during the first year after transplantation.

Detailed description

Organ donors included in the study are randomized to a control group receiving a placebo or an intervention group receiving 2.5 mg/kg of cyclosporine A before organ procurement. In the operating theater organs are harvested. Thereafter, harvested kidneys from these patients are transplanted to chronic kidney insufficiency patients. The management of transplanted patients is performed as usual. According to the pretreatment of the transplant, delayed graft function during the first week (need of at least one dialysis session) was evaluated as well as kidney function at different timepoints (slow graft function, estimated creatinine clearance on day 3 and 7, acute and chronic graft rejection), length of hospital stay and mortality during the first year after transplantation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Percentage of delayed graft function defined by a need of at least one hemodialysis sessionwithin the 7 days following renal transplantation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of slow graft function defined by a urine output < 1000 mlat on 1 day after transplantation
Percentage of slow graft function defined by a decrease in plasma creatinine concentration of less than 30% or 70%at day 3 and 7 after transplantation
Postoperative evolution of estimated creatinine clearanceat day 3 and 7
Percentage of acute and chronic graft rejectionduring the first year after transplantation
Percentage of primary graft dysfunctionduring the first year after transplantation
hospital length of stayat day 1after transplantation
Mortalityduring the first year after transplantation
