Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia is a pharmacogenetic
disease triggered in susceptible individuals as a
hypermetabolic response triggered by halogenated
anaesthetics. The incidence of malignant hyperthermia is very
less and the incidence occurring while on-going with renal
transplant is considerably nil. The possibility of witnessing a
malignant hyperthermia perioperative is a nightmare. The
critical nature of the surgery and the on-going disease
process in a paediatric patient makes it cumbersome and
upon which a myoglobinemia, shock, and ischemia play a role
in injuring the transplanted kidney.
