Would you work on a patient for lipo with in stage three kidney disease.
Answer: Liposuction and stage III kidney failure Thank you for your question.Cosmetic Plastic Surgery is elective and should never be undertaken if the risks out way the benefits.Much more information would be needed. Your overall health, a clearance letter from your nephrologist, your anatomy, realistic expectations.I would begin with a preoperative clearance from your nephrologist.

Answer: Liposuction and Kidney Disease The way I perform liposuction, with tumescent anesthesia only, there is little reason to worry about the kidney IF the kidney physician gives clearance and the patient takes proper care of nutrition and post operative care. However, elective procedures should really only be performed on healthy individiauls. I have made exceptions with coordinating care amoungst the other physicians and discussing the pros/cons with my patient. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: No lipo In no way or shape should you risk your life with elective liposuction and severe renal disease! Do not even consider it an option.

Answer: Lidocaine safety with kidney disease Lidocaine is metabolized, or transformed to less active or inactive substances, by the liver and not the kidneys. Liposuction performed with only local anesthesia and done conservatively, that is, small area and keeping the total dose on the low side should be perfectly safe with stage 3 kidney disease. However, this should only be undertaken with agreement of your nephrologist and after determining that you're truly a good candidate for liposuction .

Answer: Liposuction Good question, but i would have to say no. Patients with 3 stage of kidney disease are on a very high risk life level for liposuction surgery patient candidate have to be in good medical health by their physician or specialist before undergoing any type of plastic surgery.
