About this trial

Delayed graft function (DGF), delineated by the necessity for dialytic intervention within the initial week post-transplantation, afflicts approximately 20%-50% of recipients. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the potential efficacy of norepinephrine infusion in conjunction with goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) in mitigating the occurrence of DGF among individuals undergoing kidney transplantations. The findings of this investigation have the potential to advance the field of perioperative care in kidney transplantations by providing insights into optimized management strategies.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy (GDFT)

    Drug

    Norepinephrine will be administered intravenously at a rate of 0.06 µg/kg/min, followed by the implementation of fluid therapy guided by SVV until reaching our target. In instances where SVV ≤ 13%, indicative of adequate effective circulating blood volume, the fluid infusion rate will be adjusted to 1 ml/kg/h. Conversely, if SVV \> 13%, denoting inadequate effective circulating blood volume, a rapid infusion of 1 ml/kg of crystalloid fluid will be administered over 2 minutes, with subsequent observation of fluid reactivity after a further 2-minute interval. This process is reiterated until SVV ≤ 13% is attained. Should SVV \> 13% recurs during surgery, the aforementioned intervention is repeated.

  • Regular Fluid Therapy

    Drug

    Anesthesiologists will rely on their clinical expertise and intraoperative circulatory hemodynamic assessment to regulate fluid infusion rates and administer medications as necessary
