About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if vasopressin improves the body's response to intravenous fluids during kidney transplantation in patients who have relaxed blood vessels. Researchers will compare the results of vasopressin to those who received calcium chloride.

Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Phenotype-Guided Vasoactive Management
DrugRecipients undergo intraoperative circulation phenotyping using pulse contour monitoring and flow-pressure coupling testing. Vasoactive support is assigned according to phenotype: vasopressin infusion for Hyperdynamic physiology, norepinephrine infusion for Mixed Physiology, calcium chloride and/or low-dose dopamine for Poor Contractility, and fluid-guided support for Normal physiology.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Positive Flow-Pressure Coupling Proportion in Hyperdynamic Phenotype as measured by pulse contour analysis on the Edwards Hemosphere
Proportion of positive flow-pressure coupling responses among recipients classified intraoperatively as Hyperdynamic. Flow-Pressure coupling is defined as demonstrating both fluid responsiveness and pressure responsiveness following a fluid responsiveness test. Fluid responsiveness is defined as \>= 10% increase in the stroke volume (ml/beat) and pressure responsiveness is defined as \>= 15% in the mean arterial pressure (mmHg) 2 minutes after conclusion of the fluid responsiveness test. Hyperdynamic phenotypes are defined as having the following hemodynamics: CI \>4.0 L/min/m², SVRI \<1970 dyn·s·cm-⁵/m², and dP/dt \>1000 mmHg/s .
Secondary outcomes
Characterization of flow-pressure coupling in Normal, Mixed Physiology, and Poor-contractility phenotypes as measured with pulse contour analysis on the Edwards Hemosphere
Measurement of positive rate of FPC per FRT in all remaining circulatory phenotypes. These phenotypes are defined by the following hemodynamics: • Normal phenotype: CI 2.5-4.0 L/min/m² and SVRI 1970-2390 dyn·s·cm-⁵/m² ; • Mixed physiology: CI 2.5-4.0 L/min/m², SVRI \<1970 dyn·s·cm-⁵/m², and dP/dt \<1000 mmHg/s and • Poor Contractility: CI \<2.5 L/min/m² and dP/dt \<1000 mmHg/s .
