Moderate hydration and dopamine infusion during anaesthesia for renal transplantation: does it matter with the incidence of postoperative ANT

This study was conducted on 20 kidney recipient randomly classified into 2 groups, dopamine infusion was given to the second group [n = 10] to evaluate the effect of moderate hydration with or without dopamine on the incidence of ATN. Heart rate, mean blood pressure, central venous pressure, urine output and creatinine were recorded perioperatively. The results of this study showed that there is no significant difference between the 2 groups on the incidence of ATN. It was concluded that moderate hydration without dopamine decrease the incidence of ATN after renal transplantation
