Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Oxidative stress: measure of the oxidative stress generated after the deceased renal transplant by laboratorial serum measure of Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) with the Trichloroacetic acid method.

    7 days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Graft function: measure of serum creatinine

    3 months

  • Graft function:estimated creatinine clearance by Cokcroft-Gault formula

    3 months

  • Graft function: dialysis free status by Kaplan-Meier actuarial curve of recipients free from dialysis after deceased renal transplant

    3 months
