HOT2

The main aim of the trial is to determine whether Heme arginate (HA) treatment increases the number of kidney transplants that work immediately (reduce delayed graft function (DGF)).  In a previous single centre study we gave HA to 20 kidney transplant patients in the first 24 hours after transplant, and showed that it may reduce kidney injury and is safe. We plan to conduct a large study recruiting 600 patients.
