Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Plasma Creatine Concentration of the Recipients

    Plasma creatinine concentration before surgery, 1hour, 4hours, 24hours, 48hours and 72hours after the artery unclamping

    within the first 3days after the operation

  • Urinary Output of the Recipients Postoperatively

    Accumulated urinary output 1hour, 4hours and 24hours after the artery unclamping and the urinary output on the 2nd and 3rd day after the operation

    within the first 3days after the operation

  • Plasma Concentration of NGAL in the Recipients

    Plasma concentration of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) before the operation and 24hours after the artery unclamping

    within the first 24hours after the operation

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Acute Rejection of Transplanted Kidney

    before discharge

  • Delayed Graft Function

    before discharge

  • Length of Postoperative Hospital Stay

    before discharge

  • Total Costs During the Hospitalization

    from the admission to the discharge of the patients

  • Urine Concentration of NAG Preoperatively in Recipients

    before operation

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

control

NO INTERVENTION

patients (both donors and recipients) had a deflated cuff placed on the left lower limb for 30 min

donor

EXPERIMENTAL

Donors receive remote ischaemic preconditioning after anaesthesia induction and before surgery started; recipients only have a deflated blood pressure cuff around their leg for 30 minutes.

Device: remote ischaemic preconditioning

recipient

EXPERIMENTAL

recipients receive remote ischaemic preconditioning after anaesthesia induction and before surgery started; donors only have a deflated blood pressure cuff around their leg for 30 minutes.

Device: remote ischaemic preconditioning

Interventions

Remote ischaemic preconditioning consisted of three 5-min cycles of left lower limb ischaemia, which was induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on the left lower limb and inflated to 300 mm Hg, with an intervening 5 min of reperfusion during which the cuff was deflated.

Limitations and Caveats

The trial was conducted only in our hospital and had a relatively small sample size because of the scarcity of relative living donor renal transplantation compared to other surgeries.
