Management of sodium disorders during continuous haemofiltration
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Citrate confers less filter-induced complement activation and neutrophil degranulation than heparin when used for anticoagulation during continuous venovenous haemofiltration in critically ill patients
BACKGROUND During continuous venovenous haemofiltration (CVVH), regional anticoagulation with citrate may be superior to heparin in terms of biocompatibility, since heparin as opposed to citrate may activate complement (reflected by circulating C5a) and induce neutrophil degranulation in the filter and myeloperoxidase (MPO) release from endothelium. METHODS No anticoagulation (n = 13), unfrac...
متن کاملArteriovenous haemofiltration: a recent advance in the management of renal failure.
Twenty five patients with oliguric renal failure were treated by a combination of continuous arteriovenous haemofiltration and intermittent haemodialysis over 18 months. Haemofiltration was given for a mean of 6.6 days and the mean filtration volume was 6.0 1/day. Fourteen of the 25 patients survived beyond two months after the period of oliguria. Haemofiltration proved to be a simple and effec...
متن کاملHaemofiltration in newborns treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case-comparison study
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a supportive cardiopulmonary bypass technique for patients with acute reversible cardiovascular or respiratory failure. Favourable effects of haemofiltration during cardiopulmonary bypass instigated the use of this technique in infants on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The current study aimed at comparing clinical outcomes of newborns on...
متن کاملHaemofiltration for profound dialysis-induced hypotension: removal of sodium and water without blood-pressure change.
Two patients with profound dialysis-induced hypotension were seen, in both of whom sequential ultrafiltration and haemodialysis failed to alleviate their symptoms; in one bicarbonate dialysis similarly produced no improvement. The hypotension was frequently severe enough to necessitate premature termination of the dialysis. Haemofiltration was associated with almost total resolution of symptoms...
متن کاملUrea cycle disorders.
Most patients with urea cycle disorders who present as neonates, do so with deteriorating feeding, drowsiness and tachypnoea, following a short initial period when they appear well. The plasma ammonia should be measured at the same time as the septic screen in such patients. Ammonia levels above 200 micromol/l are usually caused by inherited metabolic diseases and it is essential to make a diag...
