Improving kidney graft function during donor kidney surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to help a donated kidney work better after transplant. It is intended for people who are receiving a living-donor kidney transplant due to kidney failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a living-donor kidney transplant for kidney failure (end-stage renal disease).
- You should not have severe heart problems.
- You should not have severe liver problems.
- You should not have bleeding/clotting problems (coagulopathy).

This trial studies the results of kidney transplants using robotic surgery from living donors. It may help patients receive kidneys with potentially less impact from surgery.
This trial tests whether giving a diuretic (a medication that helps flush fluids) during kidney transplant surgery helps a deceased-donor kidney start working sooner after the procedure.
This study tests a way to help your new kidney work right away after transplant, by preventing a condition called delayed graft function. It is for people receiving a kidney from a living or deceased donor.
This study checks if pumping a special fluid through donor kidneys (machine perfusion) helps predict how well the kidney will work after transplant. It's for people getting a kidney from an older donor or one with some health issues.
This trial tests a way to manage fluids and blood pressure during kidney transplant surgery to see if it improves recovery. It may be an option for people getting a kidney from a deceased donor.
This trial tests a machine method that keeps a donated kidney working “outside the body” so it may be better repaired before transplant. It is designed for certain first/second kidney transplants using specific donor types and storage methods.
