Summary

This study compared two types of IV fluids given to kidney transplant patients during their first week after surgery. The goal was to see which fluid better prevents electrolyte imbalances and helps the new kidney work well. About 159 adult patients who received a kidney from a living or deceased donor took part. The results could help doctors choose the best fluid for recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Ringer's lactate solution and normal saline with dextrose water
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that Ringer's lactate is better at preventing electrolyte imbalances and protecting kidney function after transplant.
What could go wrong: This is a small, single-center trial, so results may not apply to all patients. The study only looks at the first week after transplant, so long-term benefits are unknown.
