Abstract EN
Introduction : Profound metabolic alkalosis is an uncommon consideration for the anesthetic management of kidney transplantation.
Serum total carbon dioxide content and complex electrolyte abnormalities might be important diagnostic clues for the presence of metabolic alkalosis in the absence of arterial blood gas analysis.
Case Presentation : A 34-year-old female visited Gachon University Gil Medical Center, Incheon, South Korea during year 2015.
She experienced aggravated renal function due to chronic hypokalemia and severe hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis, induced by laxative abuse, and underwent ABO incompatible kidney transplantation.
Serum total carbon dioxide content remained high (about 60 mEq / L) over eight months of monthly follow-up prior to kidney transplantation.
Conclusions : The authors described their anesthetic experience of profound metabolic alkalosis with complex electrolyte abnormalities and provided a review of relevant literature.
