Edaravone on the Ischemia-Reperfusion(I/R) Injury in Kidney Transplantation Patients

Summary

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a prominent cause of delayed graft function(DGF) after kidney transplantation. Reactive oxygen species play a crucial role in I/R injury. Edaravone is a synthetic radical scavenger that has been used in acute stroke. Some animal experiments have revealed its beneficial effects against I/R injury, our goal is therefore to investigate the effectiveness of a recipient pretreatment with Edaravone at reducing the occurrence of DGF after kidney transplantation.
