A Comparison of Propofol Based Total Intravenous Anesthesia and Desflurane Based Balanced Anesthesia on Renal Protection During Deceased Brain Dead Donor Kidney Transplantation - A Prospective, Randomized Trial

August 16, 2016 updated by: Yonsei University
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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The difference in inflammatory markers of recipients between groups during and after renal transplantation (CRP, WBC differential count, IL-6, TGF-β)
Time Frame: Inflammatory markers are evelauted immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction
  1. 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

Inflammatory markers are evelauted immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The difference in renal function of kidney recipients between groups after renal transplantation (BUN/Cr, cystatin C, NGAL)
Time Frame: immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction
  1. 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

immediately after anesthesia induction, right before kidney extraction and 1 hour after kidney extraction

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The difference in global oxidative stress markers of recipients between groups during and after renal transplantation (Free Oxygen Radicals Testing, Free Oxygen Radial Defense)
Time Frame: changes of Global oxidative stress markers from Immediately after anesthesia induction to 2 hours after reperfusion
  1. 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

changes of Global oxidative stress markers from Immediately after anesthesia induction to 2 hours after reperfusion
