All anesthetic drugs act on renal function, the kidney being the primary organ involved in the excretion of the anesthetic drugs. Also, anesthesia influences kidney function, especially through hemodynamic and neuroendocrine changes. Anesthesia and renal function are highly interconnected and can potentially influence each other. Understanding the anesthetic effects on renal function can help to develop safe perioperative care and to optimize the after-surgery outcome. The study will focus on how general anesthesia influences renal parameters, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (CREA). The results of our study show the impact of general anesthesia for both BUN and CREA, in correlation with the medication used for premedication, and the patient's condition.
