Abstract
Renal transplantation is among the definitive therapies for treatment of patients
with “End-Stage Renal Disease” (ESRD). Proper anesthesia should be
considered in patients who undergo renal transplantation. On the other hand,
anesthesia in patients with single lung is an ever challenging issue. In this case
report, we introduce a 42 year old woman with “Autosomal Dominant
Polycystic Kidney Disease” (ADPKD) who was candidate for renal
transplantation and underwent regional anesthesia since she had one lung. The
patient had bilateral renal resection 4 years ago (due to ADPKD) and was
undergoing dialysis 3 times weekly. Thirty five years ago, left lung resection
had been done for the patient (due to suspected Tuberculosis). This patient
demonstrated our experience in management of regional anesthesia as a safe
method in patients with single lung who would undergo renal transplantation.
