- Abstract
The following is a case report of a patient with type I hyperoxaluria who received a living related renal transplant for end-stage renal disease. The deficiency or complete absence of the hepatic enzyme alanine glyoxalate aminotransferase characterizes type I hyperoxaluria. When deficient, an overproduction of oxalate occurs, which then can be deposited in multiple end-organ systems. When performing surgery on a patient with type I hyperoxaluria, the anesthetist needs to be aware that these patients can have a host of problems ranging from cardiovascular anomalies to end-stage renal disease. A careful assessment of each system needs to be performed, along with vigilant planning of the anesthetic regimen. Through proper planning and implementation, a safe and effective anesthetic usually can be performed.
