Objective: To provide an overview of our institutional experience with anaesthetic management of renal transplant data in terms of demographics, preoperative status, anaesthesia management, and postoperative care. Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and Research Center, Lahore. Period: January 2022 to June 2022. Material & Methods: This descriptive study included 203 cases of renal transplant. We reviewed the medical records of these patients for demographics, preoperative anaesthetic assessment, intraoperative anaesthesia records, and postoperative care unit notes. Data was analyzed using SPSS Version 25. Results: The mean age of the patients was 35.75 + 10.1 years, and most of the patients had co-morbidities. The preoperative echocardiographic findings were significant in 52.7% of the patients, and 87.2% were on dialysis preoperatively. General anaesthesia was used in 99.5% of cases. Mean volume of intravenous fluid was 5.8 L, and 9.35% required ionotropic support, 9.9% received transfusion intraoperatively while 3.9% required postoperative mechanical ventilation. Conclusions: Renal transplant recipients have significant co-morbidities and require a meticulous approach for successful perioperative anaesthetic management.
