  • Title: [Arteriovenous hemofiltration as an adjuvant therapy in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis in a patient with terminal renal failure].
    Author: Grzegorzewska A, Czarnecki R, Wanic-Kossowska M.
    Journal: Pol Tyg Lek; ; 47(31-33):692-3. PubMed ID: 1492039.
    Abstract:
    In the uraemic patient regularly treated with peritoneal dialyses occurring peritonitis caused a decrease of ultrafiltration and transfer abilities of the peritoneum. Other symptoms dangerous for life also appeared: uraemic pericarditis and significant overhydration. Peritoneal dialyses lost its effectiveness. Therefore they were supplemented by arterio-venous haemofiltration. Haemofiltration was also conducted at the beginning of haemodialysis treatment, which was initially unregular. Application of haemofiltration enabled the patient to survive during the time of waiting for regular haemodialyses. It may be useful to consider such a treatment, when the adequacy of proper renal substitutive management of uraemia by other methods is impossible to obtain.
