- Abstract
- Kidney-transplanted patients need adequate care in order to improve the kidney injury encountered during the surgical procedure related ischemia-reperfusion injury. In addition to avoiding nephrotoxic substances, the physician should be aware of the guidelines that recommend how to take care of these patients. Those guidelines include adequate fluid therapy to maintain a euvolemic status, which might be assessed by central venous pressure monitoring. There are no particular medications that may be proposed at the present time. Specific work-up with ultrasound or scintigraphic techniques might help in case of delayed graft function.
