Anaesthesia and the kidney.

M J Cousins, G Skowronski, J L Plummer

    Anaesthesia and Intensive Care
    |November 1, 1983

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This review covers kidney physiology and anesthesia's acute effects on renal function. Methoxyflurane (MOF) is linked to delayed nephrotoxicity, unlike isoflurane and halothane.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology and Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Kidney anatomy and physiology, including renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and tubular transport, are foundational to understanding renal function.
    • Anesthesia can exert both indirect (circulatory, endocrine) and direct effects on kidney function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the applied anatomy and physiology of the kidney.
    • To detail the acute and delayed effects of anesthesia on renal function.
    • To discuss the clinical implications of anesthetic-induced nephrotoxicity.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of applied kidney anatomy and physiology.
    • Detailed review of indirect and direct effects of anesthesia on renal function.
    • Analysis of factors contributing to anesthetic nephrotoxicity and clinical implications.

    Main Results:

    • Methoxyflurane (MOF) is associated with delayed nephrotoxicity due to inorganic fluoride metabolism.
    • Factors influencing MOF nephrotoxicity include dose, genetics, age, enzyme induction, obesity, and co-administered nephrotoxic drugs.
    • Enflurane nephrotoxicity is rare but shares similar etiologic factors; isoflurane and halothane are not nephrotoxic.

    Conclusions:

    • Anesthetic management significantly influences the incidence and severity of postoperative acute renal failure.
    • Understanding anesthetic effects on renal physiology is crucial for preventing kidney injury.
    • Isoflurane and halothane represent safer anesthetic choices regarding nephrotoxicity.
