Graft Failure
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a prospective, observational cohort study, designed to explore the use of NIRS in kidney transplants. This study will investigate an association between measurements of intra- operative NIRS and post - operative graft dysfunction as manifested in initiation of renal replacement therapy.
Interventions
DEVICEInvos Model 5100C Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter
To measure the correlation between post arterial and venous anastomoses (reperfusion) NIRS values of transplanted kidney and post-transplant graft failure as manifested in initiation of renal replacement therapy post transplant
