Quick takeaways

  • Balanced crystalloids led to decreased rates of delayed graft function and increased urine output in kidney transplant recipients.
  • Postoperative fluid management practices focused on matching fluid inputs to urine output, regardless of the intervention.

Trial Background and Patient Characteristics

The trial focused on comparing balanced crystalloid solutions with normal saline for kidney transplant patients. The patient population was predominantly healthy with a low percentage having type 2 diabetes. In the balanced crystalloid group, patients received a higher mean volume of trial fluid than the saline group, likely due to postoperative clinical practice.
