Brief Summary

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

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a concept where remotely induced ischemia produces protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury in a remote organ. RIPC has been studied extensively in animal models and heart surgery, but it's benefit in transplantation has been studied less. The primary aim of this study is to find out whether RIPC performed in a donor in donation after brain-death (DBD) could improve delayed graft function rate of kidney transplants.

RIPC

RIPC will consist of setting a tourniquet to donor thigh and inflating it to 300mmHg four times 5 minutes with 5 minutes deflating in between each. RIPC-intervention will be performed twice: First after brain death and second time before procurement procedure.

Sham-RIPC

Sham-RIPC will consist of setting a tourniquet to donor thigh without inflating it and keeping it in place for 35 min. Sham-RIPC-intervention will be performed twice: First after brain death and second time before procurement procedure.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Brain-dead organ donor with a plan of harvesting at least one kidney

Exclusion Criteria

* Haemodynamically unstable donor
* Age below 18 years
* Planned organ recipients are recruited to another prospective trial, which prevents participation in this trial.

All organ recipients receiving organs (kidney, liver, pancreas-kidney, heart, lungs) from a randomized donor will be recruited providing that the recipient surgery is performed at Helsinki University Hospital, recipient is over 18 years old, and recipient gives written informed consent to participate in the trial.
