Summary

This study tests whether giving a drug called angiotensin 2 during liver transplant surgery can prevent acute kidney injury, a common and serious complication. About 30 adults with end-stage liver disease will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug plus standard care, or standard care alone. The drug is given only during surgery, and patients are monitored for 14 days for kidney injury and 28 days for survival.
