About

This study investigates the influence of type of anesthesia on postoperative renal dysfunction in patients undergoing nephrectomy. The participants will be allocated to either the group receiving the total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) using propofol or the group receiving the inhaled anesthetics using desflurane.

Full description

Nephrectomy is considered as a standard therapy for renal cell carcinoma, but it can cause postoperative renal dysfunction, such as acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Therefore, it is imperative to identify modifiable risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury after nephrectomy in advance. According to a recent retrospective study, total intravenous anesthesia using propofol is significantly associated with lower incidence of acute kidney injury after nephrectomy, compared to the inhalation anesthesia. However, there is no prospective study which investigates the influence of type of anesthesia on postoperative renal function after nephrectomy. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to investigate the influence of type of anesthesia on acute kidney injury after nephrectomy by performing randomized controlled study.
