Treatment of transplant patient for non-transplant surgery

Abstract

We present the case of a successfully operated patient with a kidney transplanted due to varicose veins of the right leg. A renal transplantation was performed eight years ago in a regional transplant center and since then, the patient has regularly been under nephrologist controls on immunosuppressive therapy with the proper function of the transplanted organ. The surgical procedure for vascular intervention was performed under spinal anesthesia, without perioperative complications. On the fourth postoperative day, the patient was discharged. The goal of this paper is to describe perioperative assessment and treatment of the patients with a transplanted kidney.
