Abstract

Comorbid medical and surgical conditions dictate the complexity of kidney and pancreas transplantation. Patients who present for kidney and/or pancreatic transplantation share similar perioperative concerns (risks associated with diabetes, hypertension, vascular access, and cardiovascular disease) in performing a successful transplantation. This chapter discusses specific anesthetic management issues related separately to kidney and pancreatic transplantation.
