Various general and regional anesthesia methods are used successfully in living-donor kidney transplantation. This study compared kidney graft function after general versus combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for donor nephrectomy. The study groups included recipients who received grafts from donors who had undergone nephrectomy under general anesthesia (GA group; n=10), and recipients who received grafts from donors who had combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSE group, n=10). Standard continuous epidural anesthesia was administered during all transplantations. Graft function was assessed using scintigraphy and Doppler ultrasonography on days 3 and 7. Urine levels of microalbumin, creatinine, and creatinine clearance rate were measured/calculated in 24-hour urine samples collected on postoperative days 3 and 7. There were no differences on either day 3 or day 7 with respect to glomerular filtration rate, microalbuminuria, or creatinine clearance rate (P >.05 for all). There were also no differences between the groups with respect to other scintigraphic findings on day 3 or day 7 (P >.05 for all). Ultrasonography on day 7 showed significantly higher mean peak systolic flow in the main renal artery in the CSE group than in the GA group (P=.035). The results suggest that GA and CSE for donor nephrectomy have similar effects on kidney graft function in recipients.
