Intraoperative Blood Flow in Transplanted Human Kidneys and Its Relation to Subsequent Function

Intraoperative hypotension and prolonged operative time as risk factors for slow graft function in kidney transplant recipients

“…In the first study, Schuldt et al concluded that when blood pressure and heart rate of the recipients are within normal limits there exists a significant relationship between renal blood supply and recovery of the kidney function. (11). The second was published in German and reported significant impact on graft function with blood pressure changes (studied as a categorical variable) of >30 mmHg (12).…”
