Abstract: Biochemical Effects of Low-Flow Anesthesia with Inhalation agents in Patients undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery This study was designed to investigate the effects of low-flow anesthesia with sevoflurane and desflurane on renal and hepatic functions in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Twenty patients with ASA I or II (American Society of Anesthesiologists classification) physical scores were included in the study. There were no significant differences between sevoflurane and desflurane groups with respect to age, weight, body mass index, duration of the operation and the anesthesia. In both groups, renal function parameters such as urea, BUN, creatinine and calculated creatinine clearance did not show significant differences at 24 and 48 hours. Homocysteine levels, which showed renal metabolic function, did not change significantly at 24 and 48 hours when compared to baseline levels in both groups. Transaminases were not significantly different between the two groups from baseline to 24 and 48 hours. These differences between the preoperative and postoperative values of biochemical parameters were similar for both anesthetic groups (p>0.05). Low-flow anesthesia did not cause impairment in terms of renal and hepatic functions.
