Study summary

Furosemide is an old drug that has been used frequently in the postoperative period of kidney transplantation, aiming to achieve adequate urine output. There is no previous study that directly evaluate the urine response to standardized dose of furosemide in the postoperative period. The objective is to measure the urine output after standardized dose of furosemide is delivered, as a biomarker to predict the graft function in perioperative period.

Inclusion criteria

  • Deceased donor kidney transplantation at KCMH
  • is accepted

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known allergy to furosemide
  • Surgical complication of allograft
  • Urgently needed for dialysis ( hypervolemia, uremic symptoms, and hyperkalemia)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Furosemide

    Single dose of furosemide 1.5 mg/kg intravenously will be given to all participants at 3 hours post-reperfusion of kidney allograft. Urine output will be recorded hourly for 6 hours.

    Drug: Furosemide Injection

Interventions

  • Furosemide 1.5 mg/kg intravenously at 3 hours post-reperfusion of kidney allograft

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Urine output

    Urine output per hour (milliliters/hour) after furosemide injection

    Time frame: 6 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Delayed graft function

    Delayed graft function is defined by the necessity of dialysis within the first week after kidney transplantation. (yes/no)

    Time frame: 7 days

  2. Creatinine reduction ratio

    Ratio of serum creatinine at postoperative day 7 and 14 to day-zero creatinine

    Time frame: At postoperative day 0,7 and 14
