  • Title: [When is hemofiltration indicated, in the treatment of renal insufficiency? (author's transl)].
    Author: Pogglitsch H.
    Journal: Acta Med Austriaca; 1980; 7(4-5):144-7. PubMed ID: 7246019.
    Abstract:
    Most of the patients on RDT, tolerate hemofiltration better than hemodialysis because hemofiltration rarely causes hemodynamic complications, or symptoms of disequilibrium. In comparison with hemodialysis, hemofiltration is more extensive and it's performance more laborious. With regard to the advantages, hemofiltration should be preferred in patients with high degrees of acotemia who appear for the first treatment, in patients suffering from cardiac insufficiency or autonomic insufficiency, and furthermore in all dialysis patients suffering from therapeutic refractory hypertension, neuropathy, and in risked elderly patients with hypotension.
