Overview

Brief Summary

Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, prospective trial investigating the effect of erythropoietin in renal transplantation.

The investigators postulate that erythropoietin reduces the risk of delayed graft function.

Detailed Description

Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, prospective trial in patients, receiving a kidney transplantation. Patients will be randomized to receive either Epoetin Beta (Neorecormon; Roche) or placebo. The primary endpoint will be delayed graft function. The anticipated duration of this trial is 2 year and the target sample size is 60 patients per arm.
