Randomized Controlled Trial
Fenoldopam and renal function after partial nephrectomy in a solitary kidney: a randomized, blinded trial.
To test the hypothesis that fenoldopam administration ameliorates ischemic injury, preserving the glomerular filtration rate and serum creatinine postoperatively after partial nephrectomy in patients with a solitary kidney. ⋯ Fenoldopam administration did not preserve renal function in the clinical setting of renal ischemia during solitary partial nephrectomy, as evidenced by changes in the glomerular filtration rate or serum creatinine.
