insufficiency. The risk of pneumonia may be higher after renal surgery compared with other abdominal procedures‚ as patient’s postoperative pain with deep breathing may be substantial‚ leading to atelectasis and pneumonia. Early ambulation‚ incentive spirometry and adequate pain control should be encouraged in immediate postoperative period (17). The incidence of postoperative hypertension is <8%‚ usually mild‚ and it often resolves. Postoperative acute renal insufficiency may be multifactorial‚ relating

Margaret would require a spirometry test to determine her lung function at present and in the future‚ as the pneumonia in Margaret’s lung could also be a contributing for an expiratory wheeze. Margaret may require a physiotherapist as her cough is ineffective‚ making it difficult
