The aim of the work: to give importance to multidisciplinary treatment of patients with polycystic kidney disease and to show acceptable levels of frequency of intraoperative and postoperative complications.
Materials and Methods. We examined 58 patients with polycystic kidney disease at the Department of Transplantation and Abdominal Surgery of the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the Volyn Regional Hospital in Lutsk during the observation period 2021–2023. In 52 of them, the hereditary genesis of the disease was established, while in the rest – was not. Among the patients, the proportion of men was 52% (30 patients), women – 48% (28 patients). The average age of the patients was 46 years, while the youngest patient was 19 years old, the oldest – 73 years old.
Results. Polycystic kidney disease is a rather complex disease from the point of view of transplantation management. The presence of polycystic transformed kidneys is a relative contraindication for transplantation. First, the large and gigantic size of the kidneys does not allow placing the transplant in the retroperitoneal space, since the probable contact of the transplant with the polycystic transformed kidney of the recipient. Second, after the appointment of immunosuppressive therapy, there is a high risk of graft loss by the recipient. Third, the vast majority of patients with CKD are either already receiving renal replacement therapy, or the probability of needing renal replacement therapy is extremely high. Considering that kidney transplantation is the method of choice in renal replacement therapy, providing patients with kidney disease with this treatment is a serious clinical problem and requires a modern clinical approach.
