Attempts at organ transplantation have been made since the 19th century. Renal transplantation is the preferred treatment for end stage renal disease. Renal transplant anesthesia requires a thorough understanding of the metabolic and systemic abnormalities in end-stage renal disease, familiarity with transplant medicine, and expertise in managing and optimizing these patients for the best possible outcome. Also, the associated comorbid conditions increase the complexity of anesthesia, pain management, and perioperative morbidity and mortality. Hence a good perioperative management of these patients includes a multidisciplinary collaboration with well-planned anesthetic strategies. This chapter uses a case study of a 69-year-old man who presents for preoperative evaluation prior to consideration of renal transplantation.

Arteriovenous fistulas are known to be traumatic, congenital, or created for hemodialysis purposes in patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease. In this case study of an immature Brescia-Cimino fistula, an outflow vein stenosis was assessed solely using sonography. This type of stenosis has been found to be the most common cause of fistula failure. This case study demonstrates how the use of sonography identified an immature arteriovenous fistula as well as assisted in further treatment planning and outcomes.
