Abstract

The number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) continues to increase all over the world for the past ten years. It follows that we have more CKD patients with various complications who need perioperative management in Japan. Previous studies revealed that impaired renal function in preoperative period was the independent predictor of postoperative renal dysfunction. Safe comprehensive anesthetic management is required in order not to aggravate the preoperative CKD. In this review, we will take up some recent topics and novel concept in association with noncardiac surgery for the perioperative management of CKD patients.
