title: [Anesthesiological approach to patients with chronic kidney disease].
abstract: Anesthesia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a challenge for anesthesiologists and other specialists in the perioperative team. There is a high incidence of CKD among patients preoperatively, especially in elderly population. For anesthesiologists, it is an imperative to understand the pathophysiology of CKD, prevention of further kidney damage and its complications. This requires experienced anesthesiologist, careful preoperative patient assessment, recognition and modification of the potential risk factors in order to improve patient outcome. Priorities for successful prevention of kidney damage are appropriate fluid distribution peri- and intraoperatively, maintenance of euvolemia, and avoiding hypotension.
