Effects of Dopamine Donor Pretreatment on Graft Survival after Kidney Transplantation: A Randomized Trial

Abstract

We failed to show a significant graft survival advantage on intention-to-treat. Dopamine infusion time was very short in a considerable number of donors assigned to treatment. Our finding of a significant, nonlinear exposure-response relationship disclosed a threshold value of the dopamine infusion time that may improve long-term kidney graft survival.
