Role of Intraoperative Hemodynamic Factors with Respect to Graft Functioning in Renal Transplant Recipients and Current Trends in Perioperative Hemodynamic Management

Renal transplantation as Renal Replacement gives a better quality of life, cost effective and possibly prolonged survival. [4]. A Delayed graft function (DGF) has been related to decreased graft survival, poor long term function and also high chance of acute rejection. The need of the hour is proper preoperative hemodynamic management leading to prevention of complications like graft rejection. These factors prompted us to study the early graft function characteristics with respect to intraopertive hemodynamics considering these being an important preoperative means to improve early graft function, by preserving an adequate intravascular volume [5, 6]
