Methods RCT
Participants 50 ASA 2 or 3 chronically ill end‐stage renal disease adult patients scheduled for elective live‐related kidney transplantation
Interventions Intervention: epidural anaesthesia at T12‐L1 with fentanyl and bupivacaine (n = 25)
Control: epidural anaesthesia with fentanyl (n = 25)
General anaesthesia and epidural analgesia with 0.125% bupivacaine at 4 to 8 mL per hour after surgery for all participants
Outcomes Perioperative haemodynamics and vasopressor requirements
Early graft function
Notes Study will likely be excluded, as all participants received epidural analgesia
