Summary

Chronic kidney failure is a condition in which the kidneys progressively lose their ability to filter waste, maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, and support essential physiological functions. When kidney function (glomerular filtration rate, GFR) decreases below 15 ml/min/1.73 m\^2, the condition is classified as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and treatment such as dialysis or kidney transplantation becomes necessary.

Kidney transplantation improves quality of life and survival for individuals with ESRD. However, the transplantation process is physically and psychologically stressful for both recipients and living kidney donors. Preoperative anxiety in donors may adversely affect the surgical process, pain perception, recovery, and overall clinical outcomes.

Psychiatric support prior to surgery may help reduce anxiety and improve physiological stability, pain control, and patient satisfaction during the perioperative period. Such support may also reduce the requirement for analgesic medications and prevent related complications.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of preoperative psychiatric consultation on perioperative anxiety levels, intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, postoperative pain scores, and complication rates in living kidney donors.
