摘要
It is well known that correction of uremia by kidney transplantation alone (KTA) improves left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). However, for kidney transplant candidates with extremely severe LVSD, KTA is considered to be contraindicated because of the high risk of peri-operative management. We report a case of successful kidney transplantation with severe LVSD with an ejection fraction (EF) of 14% and low systolic blood pressure (SBP) of approximately 65 to 80 mm Hg. In this case, in spite of an extremely low EF and SBP, functional capacity was assessed using metabolic equivalents (METs) and showed a level of almost 4. The operation was performed carefully, considering the cardiac, operative, and anesthetic risks. No surgical complications occurred, and the patient received intensive care during the peri-operative period. His postoperative course was almost favorable, and he was discharged on postoperative day 29. The present report concludes that evaluation of METs may expand the indication for KTA in patients with extremely severe LVSD.
