Comparing two anesthetics for kidney donors
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see how they affect certain molecules in the blood of people donating a kidney. It aims to find out if one is safer or better for donors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.

This trial compares two types of anesthetic gases, isoflurane and sevoflurane, to see which one causes less oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) during gallbladder removal surgery. It may help surgeons choose the safer option for patients.
This study looks at how anesthesia affects kidney function in children during an MRI. Your child's kidney function will be checked before and after the scan to help doctors understand how these medicines work in young patients.
