ABSTRACT
Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease have significant morbidity due to large kidney size. Surgical extirpation of polycystic kidneys is frequently necessary to treat the morbidity or to obtain intraabdominal space for a graft kidney. Simultaneous bilateral nephrectomy and kidney transplantation are performed in many transplant centers to avoid the complications associated with anephric states such as anemia requiring blood transfusion, osteodystrophy, fluid overload, hyperkalemia, and congestive heart failure. However, the risk of postoperative complications after combined bilateral nephrectomy with kidney transplantation is relatively high, especially for cases in which the polycystic kidneys are huge. Here, we report two cases of severe and persistent hypotension during and after combined surgery which may have been caused by adrenal insufficiency or by sympathetic denervation and splanchnic vasculature decompression after the removal of huge polycystic kidneys.
