Comparing Anesthesia Types for Kidney Transplants
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general gas anesthesia vs. a spinal-plus-epidural method) during living-donor kidney transplants to see how they affect certain body signals related to cell health and aging. If you are having a kidney transplant from a living donor and are in good overall health, this trial could help doctors learn which anesthesia may be better for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are scheduled for a kidney transplant from a living donor (not a deceased donor).
- You will receive either sevoflurane gas anesthesia or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (not IV sedation only).
- You have not had an organ transplant before.
- You do not have a mitochondrial disorder, and you are not on long-term corticosteroid medication.
- Your transplant surgery must meet strict timing limits (cold storage time under 60 minutes, warm times under specific limits).
