Comparing two anesthetics for kidney donors
Treatments studied
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.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled to donate a kidney (nephrectomy) under general anesthesia.
- You are in good overall health (classified as ASA I or II).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35.
- You do not have cancer, diabetes, or chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.
- You are not allergic to propofol or sevoflurane, and you do not have severe mental health conditions.

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 study compares two common anesthetics, sevoflurane and desflurane, to see how they affect a measure of stress called the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) during surgery. It aims to find which one might be better for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (sevoflurane and desflurane) during robotic abdominal surgery. It aims to find which one may be safer and better for your lungs.
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 trial compares two types of anesthesia (desflurane gas vs. propofol IV) during coronary artery bypass surgery to see which one is better for your heart. It might help patients who are having planned bypass surgery.
This study compares two common anesthesia drugs, sevoflurane and propofol, to see which one keeps your heart rate more stable during surgery. It uses a special monitor (ANI) to measure stress on your nervous system.
