RINNOR: The Comparison Between Ringer Lactate Solution and Normal Saline in Post-Operative Period of Kidney Transplantation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a randomized controlled pragmatic clinical trial. We aim to evaluate the effect of Ringer lactate solution (RLS) and normal saline solution (NSS) on the electrolyte abnormality of kidney transplant recipients (KTR) during the first post-operative week. The problem with using NSS as a standard replacement fluid is the hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis which might compromise the kidney allograft function. A total 60 KTR will be enrolled and randomized to receive either RLS or NSS. The primary outcome is serum bicarbonate level at day 5 after transplantation. Secondary outcomes include the serum potassium, serum sodium, serum chloride, cytokine panel, and the incidence of delayed graft function.

Experimental: Ringer lactate arm The patient will receive RLS as a replacement fluid for urine output (mL per mL) until the patient have sufficient oral intake and fluid can be removed. |
Drug: Ringer's Lactate Crystalloid Solutions
The patient will receive RLS as a replacement fluid for urine output (mL per mL) until the patient have sufficient oral intake and fluid can be removed.

Active Comparator: Normal saline arm The patient will receive NSS as a replacement fluid for urine output (mL per mL) until the patient have sufficient oral intake and fluid can be removed. |
Drug: Normal saline
The patient will receive NSS as a replacement fluid for urine output (mL per mL) until the patient have sufficient oral intake and fluid can be removed.
