Important patient factors
Transplant patients have a high cardiovascular risk and higher cardiovascular event rate
Patients have a higher overall infection risk
Patients at risk of steroid myopathy if on “high” dose
Increased risk of acute kidney injury

Medication factors

Patient factors: Cardiac disease

Patient factors: infection
Renal transplant patients undergoing CABGS have an infectious complication rate of 10-20%
Review of 1939 patients after renal transplantation revealed wound infection in 7.5%, with most being superficial. Obesity and diabetes remain strong risk factors

Small number of studies show no benefit in giving IVIG prophylaxis in the absence of recurrent infections

Patient factors: increased risk of acute kidney injury
From 27,232 patients transplanted 1995-2000, 4181 admissions for AKI with dialysis needed in 14% Am J Kidney Dis. 2012 Apr;59(4):558-65

Wound-healing is impaired after kidney transplantation with mTOR inhibitors
Impaired wound healing is influenced by:
-mTOR inhibitor dose-prednisolone-patients overall risk
Non-obese patient on low dose of both mTOR and prednisolone is low risk
May consider mTOR switch in a high risk patient

Typical regimen in a renal transplant patient
•Mycophenolate 500mg bd
• Tacrolimus bd; according to blood levels
• Prednisolone 5mg/day
![Page 17: Surgery in the renal transplant patient - Amazon S3 · 2017-09-21 · renal transplant patients can easily undergo surgery Standard patient factors such as obesity, chronic renal](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050511/5f9b6d00a68d2b5d18464756/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Clinical Scenario 1
• 65 year old man having hip replacement for avascular necrosis of the hip. He received a transplant 2007, having had glomerulonephritis. He is well, without symptoms of heart disease. He takes mycophenolate, tacrolimus, and prednisolone 5mg/d. He also takes irbesartan and atorvastatin. His creatinine is 150 micromol/l, and Hb is 128.
• Withhold irbesartan the day of surgery
• Hydrocortisone intraoperatively
• Restart mycophenolate and tacrolimus that evening orally

Clinical Scenario 2
• 70 year old woman, with recurrent infections, on IVIG. Renal transplant 2012, T2DM, HT, creatinine 190. Takes mycophenolate, tacrolimus, prednisolone (5mg/d), Ramipril, and amlodipine. Having laparoscopic cholecystectomy
• Consider cardiac scan in pre-operative assessment
• Admit the day before withholding Ramipril and starting iv fluid
• Intraoperative hydrocortisone and continue post-operatively
• Commence iv mycophenolate and tacrolimus on the day of surgery

Summary
With pre-operative assessment and post-operative medication plan, well selected stable renal transplant patients can easily undergo surgery
Standard patient factors such as obesity, chronic renal failure, diabetes and vascular comorbidities are of greater importance than transplant medication in terms of their peri-operative impact.
In patients where there is an expectation of being unable to take oral medication for more than 24 hours, intravenous transplant medication should be commenced postoperatively.
Sirolimus/Everolimus mainly associated with wound/operative complications in thoracotomy, or when mTOR and prednisolone are high dose. In the cases of cardiac surgery consider a switch to tacrolimus at the time of surgery.
