Perioperative Renal Management
The patients underwent preoperative hemodialysis based on their original
schedule. Intraoperative hemodialysis was only performed for extreme
electrolyte abnormality. Patients routinely underwent postoperative
hemodialysis on the day of operation and the following day. On
postoperative day 2, the patients resumed hemodialysis on their original
schedule and their body weights were controlled in an effort to revert
to their preoperative dry weight by the end of the first postoperative
week. Patients with extreme postoperative weight gain were prescribed
extra hemodialysis.
