Influence of dialysis membranes on outcomes in acute renal failure: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Considerable controversy exists as to whether synthetic (more biocompatible) dialysis membranes improve outcome in patients with acute renal failure (ARF) compared to cellulose-based membranes. Numerous trials conducted have yielded inconsistent results. Although the discordant results of existing studies could be explained by the varying degrees of biocompatibility among the differe...
متن کاملA multicenter comparison of dialysis membranes in the treatment of acute renal failure requiring dialysis.
The mortality of patients with acute renal failure (ARF) remains high, and in several large studies approaches 60%. This mortality is particularly high in patients with ARF who require dialysis and has not changed substantially over several years, despite the introduction of major advances in monitoring and treatment. Increasing prevalence of comorbidities has been suggested as the major factor...
متن کاملDose of dialysis in acute renal failure.
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in supportive care, outcomes in ARF have improved little over the past decades. The primary goals in management of patients with ARF are to optimize hemodynamic and volume status, minimize further renal injury, correct metabolic abnormalities, and permit adequate nutrition. Renal replacement therapy (R...
متن کاملDialysis Modalities for Acute Renal Failure
Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in the availability of different dialysis methods for replacement of renal function. Although the majority of these have been developed for patients with end-stage renal disease, more and more they are being applied for the treatment of acute renal failure (ARF). The treatment of ARF, with renal replacement therapy (RRT), has the followi...
متن کاملOutcomes research in acute renal failure.
Acute renal failure (ARF) is associated with morbidity and mortality in excess of 50% in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. A variety of outcome measures have been described in published reports of ARF, however, the studies often do not distinguish between clinical outcomes and surrogate endpoints. Multiple factors can influence these outcomes, including variations in practice. It is import...
