Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Renal transplantation is now recognized as a treatment of choice for patients with chronic renal failure with end-stage renal disease. Renal transplantations are associated with better quality of life, better cost/benefit ratio, and possibly longer survival. Significant changes in blood pressure are common throughout the surgical procedure for kidney transplantation. All efforts are made to maintain an appropriate level of blood pressure by using an adequate intravascular volume and vasopressor administration. All efforts are made to maintain an appropriate level of blood pressure by using an adequate intravascular volume and vasopressor administration. All efforts are made to maintain an appropriate level of blood pressure by using an adequate intravascular volume and vasopressor administration.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Norepinephrine

Drug: Norepinephrine
Norepinephrine infusion will be used at a starting dose of 0.05μg/kg/min. Dose range: 0.05 -0.15 μg/kg/min. Infusion will be started with arterial decamping and continues till 24 hours postoperative

Active Comparator: Dopamine

Drug: Dopamine
Dopamine infusion will be used at a starting dose of 5μg/kg/min. Dose range: 5 -15 μg/kg/min. Infusion will be started with arterial decamping and continues till 24 hours postoperative

Outcome Measures
