General anesthesia for thyroid nodule surgery can have an effect on renal function.
The pathophysiological changes of renal insufficiency are mainly water, electrolyte, acid-base balance disorders, metabolite accumulation and so on. For this type of surgical patients, anesthesiologists will comprehensively assess the patient’s renal function before surgery, to ensure that the kidneys are sufficient to tolerate general anesthesia before surgery, in the implementation of general anesthesia will also try to reduce the amount of anesthesia drugs to reduce the metabolic burden on the kidneys.
Even so, the anesthetic drugs that enter the body of patients with renal insufficiency may take a longer time to be metabolized, affecting renal function to a certain extent.
After general anesthesia, if the patient has any discomfort, consult the doctor in time, in order to find out the change of the condition at the first time and take timely treatment measures.
