Intravenous Estrogen in Kidney Transplant Study (NCT03663543)
The Use of Peri-Operative Intravenous Estrogen for the Mitigation of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in the Setting of Renal Transplantation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Ischemia perfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of organ injury during kidney transplantation. Currently there are no treatments for IRI other than dialysis. Preliminary studies in female mice have found protection from IRI when given short term estrogen supplements. This study will look at the effect of intravenous estrogen given peri-operatively to reduce the effect of IRI in female kidney transplant recipients.
