Patients with Chronic Kidney Failure have to face marry risks of surgery. Hence, it is extremely important for the doctors to do preoperative evaluation and attempt to decrease mortality. Risks of surgery for Chronic Kidney Failure include:
Acute Renal Failure. During surgical procedures, the patients with Chronic Renal Failure are prone to develop acute kidney failure. The rate 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, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, type of surgeries like emergency surgery etc.
Increased rates of morbidity and mortality for several different surgeries. For instance, low GFR is an independent predictor of mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The mortality of the patients with Chronic Kidney 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 Chronic Kidney Failure to communicate with their doctors before surgery about their disease history, complications of Chronic Kidney Failure etc. So the doctors can assess the risks of surgery and take preventive measures in advance.
