Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become increasingly prevalent in our
aging patient population, especially because glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal reserve decline progressively as we grow older. The most common causes of CKD are diabetes mellitus, hypertension and glomerulonephritis. The aim of this article is to present different regional techniques relevant to patients with CRF. We also reviewed possible complications and specificities that should be addressed when administering regional anesthesia.
