[Intraoperative hemodynamics in relative living donors]

The intraoperative hemodynamics was evaluated in 42 relative kidney donors. Electromagnetic flowmetry was used for the evaluation. The rate of blood flow was calculated with the formula of Hunt. The comparison of the existing rate of blood flow with a proper one has demonstrated the existence of intrakidney angiospasm. The donors over 50 years of age and the female donors are more predisposed to angiospasm. It was noted that in harvesting the right kidney the intraorganic angiospasm is expressed much more strongly than in harvesting the left kidney. The phenomena of intrakidney angiospasm in harvesting kidneys in live donors is of practical importance. Special measures should be undertaken to prevent this complication.
