Successful management of severe hyponatraemia during continuous renal replacement therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rapid correction of chronic hyponatraemia can lead to osmotic demyelination syndrome. Ensuring a gradual correction can be difficult, especially in patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT). A 43-year-old renal transplant patient presented with severe chronic hyponatraemia. She required continuous RRT. The hyponatraemia was corrected successfully by manually adjusting sodium concentration in the dialysate. Our case describes an effective method to ensure severe hyponatraemia is corrected safely during continuous RRT.

Management of sodium disorders during continuous haemofiltration
In patients with acute kidney injury and concomitant severe hyponatraemia or hypernatraemia, rapid correction of the serum Na+ concentration needs to be avoided. The present paper outlines the principles of how to adjust the Na+ concentration in the replacement fluid during continuous renal replacement therapy to prevent rapid changes of the serum Na+ concentration.

متن کاملCitrate anticoagulation for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients with acute kidney injury admitted to the intensive care unit
Continuous forms of renal replacement therapy (CRRT) have become established as the treatment of choice for supporting critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. Typically, these patients have activation of the coagulation cascades, peripheral mononuclear cells and platelets, but also a reduction in natural anticoagulants, and are therefore prothrombotic. For continuous modes of renal re...

OBJECTIVES To describe current practice for the discontinuation of continuous renal replacement therapy in a multinational setting and to identify variables associated with successful discontinuation. The approach to discontinue continuous renal replacement therapy may affect patient outcomes. However, there is lack of information on how and under what conditions continuous renal replacement th...
متن کاملClinical review: Use of renal replacement therapies in special groups of ICU patients
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in ICU patients is typically associated with other severe conditions that require special attention when renal replacement therapy (RRT) is performed. RRT includes a wide range of techniques, each with specific characteristics and implications for use in ICU patients. In the present review we discuss a wide range of conditions that can occur in ICU patients who have AK...
