Effect of Mannitol on Kidney Function After Kidney Transplantation
Background: The effect of mannitol usage during kidney donation and kidney transplantation is still unclear. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to research the difference in graft function between kidney grafts treated with and without mannitol. Methods: A literature search was performed in 5 databases and included 8 eligible studies out of 3570 references, which were included up to July 12, 2021. Relevant outcomes for analysis were graft survival, rejection, acute renal failure, delayed graft function, renal failure, creatinine clearance, diuresis, and serum creatinine. Results: Eight studies were identified, 1 study examining the effect of mannitol during kidney donation and 7 studies during kidney transplantation, of which 6 eligible for meta-analysis. A total of 1143 patients were included in these studies. The following outcome measures demonstrated signif
