COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA AND COMBINED SPINAL-EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA ON FERROPTOSIS, HUMANIN, AND MOTS-C LEVELS IN RENAL TRANSPLANTATION

24. juni 2026 opdateret af: Berna Kaya Ugur, University of Gaziantep

COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA AND COMBINED SPINAL-EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA ON FERROPTOSIS, HUMANIN, AND MOTS-C LEVELS IN RENAL TRANSPLANTATION: A PROSPECTIVE CONTROLLED STUDY

Renal transplantation is the most effective renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. Ischemia-reperfusion injury may adversely affect graft function and long-term outcomes. Ferroptosis has recently emerged as a potential mechanism involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury, while the mitochondrial-derived peptides humanin and MOTS-c are thought to exert protective effects against oxidative stress. However, the effects of different anesthetic techniques on these biomarkers in kidney transplant recipients have not been investigated.

This prospective controlled study aims to compare the effects of sevoflurane general anesthesia (SGA) and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) on serum ferroptosis markers, humanin, and MOTS-c levels in adult kidney transplant recipients. Blood samples will be obtained perioperatively for biomarker analysis.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of the anesthetic technique on serum ferroptosis markers, humanin, and MOTS-c levels. Secondary objectives include evaluating early graft function and postoperative outcomes by assessing the incidence of delayed graft function, postoperative serum creatinine levels, requirement for dialysis, urine output, length of hospital stay, and the association of these outcomes with perioperative biomarker levels.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Renal transplantation represents the most effective form of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease; however, ischemia-reperfusion injury remains a major determinant of early graft dysfunction and long-term transplant outcomes.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death characterized by lipid peroxidation, has recently been proposed as an important mechanism contributing to ischemia-reperfusion-related tissue injury. In addition, mitochondrial-derived peptides such as humanin and MOTS-c have been identified as key regulators of cellular stress responses and may exert protective effects against oxidative damage. Despite these emerging findings, the influence of anesthetic technique on ferroptosis-related pathways and mitochondrial protective peptides in kidney transplantation has not yet been fully elucidated.

This prospective controlled study is designed to evaluate the effect of anesthetic technique on perioperative biochemical and clinical outcomes in renal transplant recipients. Adult patients undergoing kidney transplantation will receive either sevoflurane-based general anesthesia (SGA) or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA). The two anesthetic strategies will be compared in terms of their effects on circulating ferroptosis-related biomarkers, as well as serum levels of humanin and MOTS-c.

Peripheral arterial blood samples will be obtained at two standardized points: immediately before anesthesia induction (T1) and immediately prior to extubation (T2). Following collection, blood samples will be centrifuged, and serum aliquots will be stored under appropriate conditions at -80°C until batch analysis. Serum levels of ferroptosis-related biomarkers, humanin, and MOTS-c will be measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and standard biochemical techniques.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the effect of anesthetic technique on perioperative changes in serum ferroptosis-related biomarkers and mitochondrial-derived peptides (humanin and MOTS-c).

The secondary objectives are to evaluate early postoperative graft function and clinical recovery parameters, including incidence of delayed graft function, postoperative serum creatinine levels, requirement for dialysis, urine output, and length of hospital stay. In addition, the association between perioperative biomarker levels and clinical outcomes will be analyzed to explore potential predictive relationships.

It is anticipated that this study will provide further insight into the relationship between anesthetic technique, ferroptosis pathways, and mitochondrial-mediated cytoprotection in renal transplantation. The results may contribute to improved understanding of perioperative biological responses and support optimization of anesthetic strategies aimed at enhancing graft outcomes.

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Aktiv komparator: Sevoflurane General Anesthesia (SGA)
Participants in this group will receive sevoflurane general anesthesia according to standard institutional protocols for kidney transplantation.
Procedure: Sevoflurane General Anesthesia
Participants will receive standardized sevoflurane general anesthesia according to institutional kidney transplantation protocols. Anesthesia induction will include preoxygenation with 100% oxygen for 3-5 minutes, followed by intravenous propofol (1.5-2.5 mg/kg), fentanyl (1-2 µg/kg), and rocuronium bromide (0.6 mg/kg). Endotracheal intubation will be performed after short mask ventilation using direct laryngoscopy, and correct placement will be confirmed by auscultation. Anesthesia maintenance will be provided with sevoflurane (1.5-2.0% end-tidal) in a 40-50% oxygen/air mixture and remifentanil infusion (0.05-0.2 µg/kg/min). Mechanical ventilation will be set to 6-8 mL/kg tidal volume, PEEP 5 cmH₂O, and end-tidal CO₂ 35-40 mmHg. At the end of surgery, sevoflurane will be discontinued, neuromuscular blockade will be reversed with sugammadex (2-4 mg/kg), and extubation will be performed after recovery. Postoperative analgesia will include subcutaneous morphine (0.1 mg/kg).

Aktiv komparator: Combined Spinal-Epidural Anesthesia (CSEA)
Participants in this group will receive combined spinal-epidural anesthesia as the anesthetic technique for kidney transplantation.
Procedure: Combined Spinal-Epidural Anesthesia
Participants will receive combined spinal-epidural anesthesia under sterile conditions according to institutional protocols. The L3-L4 interspace will be identified, and local anesthesia will be administered with lidocaine (2-3 mL, 2%). A Tuohy needle will be inserted using a midline approach, and the epidural space will be identified using loss-of-resistance technique. Spinal anesthesia will be achieved via intrathecal injection of 2.5 mL of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine after confirmation of cerebrospinal fluid flow. An epidural catheter will then be placed and secured. Sedation will be provided with intravenous midazolam (1-2 mg), and oxygen will be administered via nasal cannula (4 L/min). Intraoperative analgesia will be maintained with epidural 0.25% bupivacaine as needed. At the end of surgery, epidural morphine (3 mg) combined with 0.25% bupivacaine will be administered for postoperative analgesia.
