Summary
This study tests whether an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol can reduce the need for strong painkillers after a kidney transplant from a living donor. Sixty adult participants will receive a carbohydrate drink, Tylenol, gabapentin, a local numbing injection, and early walking. Researchers will compare their pain scores and narcotic use to past patients who did not follow this protocol.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a standard way to manage pain after kidney transplant with fewer narcotics.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The protocol involves multiple steps, and some may not tolerate them.
