Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether upper limb ischemic postconditioning can improve renal function and decrease ischemic-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing living donor kidney transplantation.

Conditions

  • Kidney Transplantation
  • Ischemic Reperfusion Injury
  • Remote Ischemic Postconditioning

Interventions

DEVICE

remote ischemic postconditioning

Remote ischemic postconditioning consists of three 5-min cycles of upper limb ischemia, which was induced by an automated cuff-inflator placed on the upper limb free of arteriovenous fistula and inflated to 250 mm Hg, with an intervening 5 min of reperfusion during which the cuff was deflated.
