- Abstract
Background. Opioids are still the basic drugs in postoperative, moderate to severe pain treatment and also have been increasing in use for chronic pain patients. Common side effects of such therapies are usually well known. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) is a rare phenomenon in opioid treatment. Case report. We present an original case of a 30-year-old female with OIH diagnosed in postoperative period after pancreas and kidney transplantation, reoperations and late post transplantation hospitalizations. This case suggests the possibility of OIH cross induction by different opioids. Multimodal approach to OIH treatment, including temporary propofol sedation in early postoperative period has been suggested to consideration.
