Adult patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral nephrectomy with renal transplantation often developed perioperative hypotension requiring vasopressor infusions and postoperative transfer to the ICU. This is possibly due to a temporary loss of the renin-angiotensin system. Despite this, patients most commonly were transferred to the floor on postoperative day 1 and had successful outcomes with no mortality at 30 days.
