Abstract

Objective: There are many studies on kidney transplant anesthesia, there is not enough data in the literature in terms of intraoperative parameters according to the donor type. In this study, we aimed to compare the intraoperative hemodynamic parameters in adult patients who underwent living-donor and deceased-donor kidney transplantation (KT). Material and Methods: The patients who underwent KT were divided into 2 groups according to the donor kidney type. Recipients who underwent deceased donor transplantation were included in the study as Group 1. Among the living donor kidney transplant recipients, the same number of patients with similar demographic data as Group 1 were designated as Group 2. Both groups were compared in terms of recorded data and intraoperative hemodynamic parameters. Results: Twenty-four patients were included in the study. The mean durations of dialysis were 81.6 ± 64.8 and 16.8 ± 17.4 months for Group 1 and Group 2, respectively (p = 0.001). The mean cold ischemia time was significantly longer in Group 1 than Group 2 (p = 0.001). The mean operative urine output for Group 1 and Group 2 were 87.3 ± 149.6 and 634.2 ± 534.5, respectively (p = 0.002). Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation and CVP values were all comparable between the two groups. Conclusion: Cold ischemia time is longer and operative urine volume is lower in deceased donor transplants compared to living donor transplants. With good preoperative preparation, close intraoperative follow-up, and proper fluid management, similar intraoperative hemodynamic parameters are achieved in both types of donor recipients.
