Summary

This study compares two anesthesia methods—general anesthesia with sevoflurane and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia—in adults receiving a kidney transplant. Researchers will measure blood markers related to cell damage and protection to see if one method better shields the new kidney from injury. The goal is to understand how anesthesia choice might influence early graft function and recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Sevoflurane (general anesthetic) and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia
What this could lead to: If one anesthesia method better protects the new kidney from injury, it could improve transplant success and long-term function.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study measuring blood markers, not direct patient outcomes. Results may not lead to changes in practice.
