Dexmedetomidine during kidney transplant surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies a sedative drug called dexmedetomidine given during kidney transplant surgery to see if it helps protect the new kidney. It might help the kidney work better after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be having a kidney transplant (either planned or urgent) because of kidney failure.
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must not have an allergy to dexmedetomidine or clonidine.
- You must not have a very slow heart rate (below 50 beats per minute).
- You must not have certain heart rhythm problems (like second or third-degree heart block or Mobitz type 2 or 3) unless you have a pacemaker.
- You must not have a very weak heart pump (left ventricular ejection fraction less than 30%).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a drug called dexmedetomidine, given during general anesthesia, helps keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable during outpatient surgery. It may be an option if you are having a minor surgery and are not on certain heart medications.
This trial studies whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine during cancer surgery can improve long-term survival. It is for older adults having major cancer surgery that lasts at least two hours and who will need a pain pump after the operation.
This study tests whether a sedative called remimazolam works well and safely for people getting a kidney transplant. It might help you stay calm and comfortable during surgery.
This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
This study tests whether adding a drug called dexmedetomidine during your surgery can reduce the amount of remifentanil (a strong painkiller) you need. This might help you recover more comfortably after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
This study tests whether a sedative medicine called dexmedetomidine can help protect thinking and memory after robotic urinary surgery in older adults. It aims to see if it helps keep the mind sharp during recovery.
