Prognostic Value of Hemoglobin Concentration and Graft Vein Blood Oxygenation on Renal Transplant Outcomes.

Objective: Our objective was to investigate vein blood gas levels in the transplanted kidney during surgery as a predictive factor for delayed graft function after renal transplant.

Materials And Methods: Sixty patients with renal transplant were enrolled in our study from January 2015 to January 2016. After vessels were declamped posttransplant, blood samples from the transplanted kidney veins were taken and acidosis and oxygenation in these samples were measured.
