Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage V
• Interventions: Other: surgery; Other: Ray-Tech sponge technique

• Registration Number: NCT06611189
• Lead Sponsor: Okan University

Brief Summary

Warm ischemia during kidney transplantation is one of the important factors that negatively affect kidney function in the recipient. The investigators aimed to examine the effects of two techniques (Ray-Tech sponge technique and Ice bag technique) applied to protect the kidney from warm ischemia during kidney transplantation on long-term kidney function.

Detailed Description

A prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted at Istanbul Okan University Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. All participants were selected from those who underwent kidney transplantation between January 2020 and January 2023.
