Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the effect of a sevoflurane based anesthesia versus a propofol based anesthesia on the incidence of DGF in recipients of kidneys of donation after circulatory death (DCD) and donation after brain death (DBD) donors

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective:

To compare the effect of a sevoflurane based anaesthesia versus a propofol based anaesthesia on the incidence of delayed graft function in recipients of DCD and DBD donor kidneys.

Study design:

Prospective randomized controlled European multicentre clinical trial with two parallel groups

Study population:

Patients ≥18 years scheduled for kidney transplantation with a kidney from a DBD or DCD donor

Intervention:

Patients will be included and randomised to one of the following groups:

Group 1 PROP (control): Propofol: a propofol-remifentanil based anaesthesia. Group 2 SEVO (intervention): Sevoflurane: a sevoflurane-remifentanil based anaesthesia.

Main study parameters:

Primary outcome: The two co-primary endpoints are the incidence of DGF and one-year acute rejection in recipients of DCD and DBD donor kidneys. DGF is defined as need for dialysis within the first week after transplantation, excluding one-time dialysis for hyperkalaemia. Acute rejection is defined by the modified BANFF 2013 classification and must be associated with decline in kidney function and treatment.

Secondary outcomes Functional delayed graft function (fDGF) is defined as the absence of a daily decrease of at least 10% in serum creatinine for at least three consecutive days; primary non function (PNF) defined as a permanent lack of function of the allograft; length of hospital stay and postoperative complications of all kind (28). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at one week and three and twelve months calculated with the CKD-EPI formula; measured GFR employing Iodinethalamate (Groningen), CrEDTA (Aarhus) and Iohexol (Oslo) at twelve months; readmissions at three and twelve months, graft survival and patient survival at twelve months.;

The investigators predefined four substudies being: Cardiac biomarkers in renal transplantation, Volatile vs Intravenous anaesthetic agent; Predictive value of urinary Biomarkers in a deceased donor kidney transplantation cohort to predict PNF, DGF, Acute rejection and long term graft function and outcome; Association between intraoperative haemodynamics and vasopressor use and graft outcome; Postoperative delirium, volatile vs Intravenous anaesthetic agent (Groningen, Aarhus);
