IMPACTS OF TRANSFUSION BLOOD ON FUNCTIONS OF KIDNEYS AFTER ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

Objective: The impact of the transfusion of blood before the surgery on the function of the kidneys remained as a part of subject in different research works. The aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of transfusion of blood on the function of kidneys after surgery in the patients who underwent orthopedic surgical intervention. Methodology: Total one hundred and thirty-six patients who underwent surgical intervention because of different orthopedic pathologies from July 2018 to January 2019 were under evaluation. The division of the patients carried out into 2 groups depending upon the amount of the transfusion of blood. Total 69.80% (n: 95) patients who found with transfusion of lower than 3 units were the part of Group-1 & 30.20% (n: 41) patients who received three or greater than 3 blood units were the part of Group-2. Results: We found no statistical disparities between the patients of both groups before surgery regarding sex, hypertension, DM, failure of the kidney & habits of cigarette smoking. No disparities between the patients of both group regarding stay in hospital after surgery, pulmonary and associated other complications & mortality. When the comparison of the blood parameters of the patients of both groups carried out describing the functions of kidneys and other organ systems, we detected no significant disparity. Conclusion: Transfusions of blood have no negative impacts on after surgery BUN & levels of creatinine in the patients with underwent surgery for the orthopedic complications.
