What are the surgery risks for Kidney Failure patient?
During surgical procedures, the patients with Chronic Renal Failure are prone to develop acute kidney failure.The risk of acute kidney injury in surgical patients has been estimated to be approximately 1%. Also there are some factors which can increase the risk of developing acute kidney injury mainly including Diabetes Mellitus, high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease, type of surgeries like emergency surgery etc.
In addition, the presence of Chronic Renal Failure increases the rates of morbidity and mortality for several different surgeries. For example, low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an independent predictor of mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The mortality of the patients with Chronic Renal Failure increases with the decline of GFR. Similar findings correlating GFR with increased morbidity and mortality are also found among the patients who receive other types of surgeries like elective major vascular surgery, endovascular aortic aneurysm surgery.
Therefore, it is very important for the patients with Renal Failure to communicate with their doctors before surgery about their disease history, complications of Chronic Renal Failure etc. So the doctors can assess the risks of surgery and take preventive measures in advance.
