General anesthesia and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia show similar kidney graft function after donor nephrectomy. This comparison aids in selecting anesthesia for living-donor kidney transplantation, ensuring optimal outcomes for recipients.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Transplantation Surgery

Background:

  • Living-donor kidney transplantation relies on successful anesthesia for donor nephrectomy.
  • Both general anesthesia (GA) and regional anesthesia techniques are employed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare kidney graft function in recipients following donor nephrectomy under GA versus combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSE).

Main Methods:

  • Donors underwent nephrectomy under either GA (n=10) or CSE (n=10).
  • Recipients received grafts, with standard epidural anesthesia during transplantation.
  • Graft function assessed via scintigraphy and Doppler ultrasonography on postoperative days 3 and 7.
  • Urine microalbumin, creatinine, and creatinine clearance were measured.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in glomerular filtration rate, microalbuminuria, or creatinine clearance between GA and CSE groups on days 3 or 7.
  • Similar scintigraphic findings were observed between groups.
  • Higher peak systolic flow in the renal artery was noted in the CSE group on day 7 (P=.035).

Conclusions:

  • General anesthesia and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia yield comparable kidney graft function in recipients.
  • CSE anesthesia may offer potential benefits in renal artery blood flow post-transplant.
