I may need a procedure done under anesthesia. What are the risks to my one kidney? Any advice?
-
Dear Pastor Jeff,
I've sure never heard of any. But of course you will disclose it before the procedure. I've had several colonoscopies and no problems. Have a beautiful sleep and uneventful recovery!
Love, elephant

Despite this, I did have some knowledge here. Adgiea enough to post on that knowledge feels more immediate.

For colonoscopy just ask the GI about using a prep that is kidney friendly.

Have a conversation with your doctor about it ahead of time to give you peace of mind. It is the anesthesiologist's responsibility to get a good history going into your procedure so they should take any appropriate precautions with choice of medications.
