Influence of Human Albumin Supplementation on Kidney Dysfunction After Liver Transplantation

Phase 4
Recruiting
Conditions
Liver Transplantation
Acute Kidney Injury
Interventions
Drug: Albumin administration
Registration Number
NCT06535945
Lead Sponsor
Rennes University Hospital
Brief Summary

To verify whether albumin administration to achieve serum concentration above 30g/L (treated group) and its maintenance within plasmatic physiologic range (above 30 g/L) for five days diminishes rate of AKI at Day 7 after liver transplantation as compared to restrained albumin administration (when serum concentration is at 20 g/L or below (control)).
