Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Comparison between the effects of intraoperative human albumin and normal saline on early graft function in renal transplantation.
The aim of the current study was to compare the effects of intraoperative infusion of 20 % human albumin versus 0.9 % normal saline on early and late graft function in renal transplantation. ⋯ This study revealed that the use of 20 % human albumin as an intraoperative volume expander provides no more benefit than the use of 0.9 % normal saline in terms of immediate graft function in living donor renal transplantation.
