Brief Summary

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

The objective of this observational clinical study is to evaluate the variations in ascorbic acid during the transplantation phases and how these variations influence the oxidative status and patient outcome.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* how many patients arrive at the transplant in a state of hypovitaminosis C?
* how does hypovitaminosis C affect the patient's oxidative status?
* how does hypovitaminosis C affect the length of stay in intensive care and post-transplant complications?

Detailed Description

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

Researches will compared:

Differences between Hypovitaminosis Group and Normal Range Group Changes in oxidative stress markers before and after solid organ transplantation Incidence of allograft dysfunction between groups Incidence of acute kidney injury and other complications between groups

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hypovitaminosis Group

Patients who at the end of surgery have sub-optimal plasma ascorbic acid levels, i.e. with concentrations lower than 28 µmol/L

No interventions assigned to this group

Normal Range Group

Patients who at the end of surgery have plasma ascorbic acid levels equal to or greater than 28 µmol/L

No interventions assigned to this group
