... models assessed the relationship between fluid balance and mortality. Mediation analysis explored the impact of CRRT on mechanical ventilation duration and hospital stay. Results: Fluid overload and excessive ultrafiltration were associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation and extended hospital...

.... The combination of multiple point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) measurements can identify significant venous congestion, but its usefulness to determine ultrafiltration (UF) requirements and dry weight is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated prospectively patients in maintenance hemodialysis to establish...

... and net ultrafiltration (NUF) rates. Methods: In a cohort of adult intensive care unit patients receiving CRRT, we continuously monitored hematocrit and RBV using a pre-filter noninvasive optical sensor. We analyzed temporal changes in RBV and investigated the association between RBV change and NUF rates...

...Takahiro Kasai; Yoshito Iida; Takahide Kimura; Masayuki Tanemoto Introduction: In peritoneal dialysis (PD), managing peritoneal glucose uptake is a clinical challenge, as the uptake leads to peritoneal ultrafiltration loss. Peritoneal expression of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) suggests...

... clinical scenarios. Summary: One of the strategies when fluid overload is refractory to diuretics is extracorporeal fluid removal (i.e., net ultrafiltration [UF NET ] during kidney replacement therapy). However, problems with UF NET without individualized assessment are cardiovascular events...

... and maintaining a targeted extracellular volume. The objective of the study is to evaluate regular peritoneal ultrafiltration treatment compared to a standard conservative approach in NYHA III–IV CHF patients. In particular, the primary endpoints of the study were the major event-free survival and the total days...

... therapy Acute kidney injury Ultrafiltration The heart and kidney interact with each other by sharing common risk factors, such as hypertension, smoking, diabetes, obesity, old age, and so on. These two organs are also involved in maintaining hemodynamic stability and organ perfusion through...

Stratified analysis, considering prior and first-year-on-PD peritoneal aggressions, did not reveal any differences...

Herein, we describe the case of an ESRD patient presenting with hypertensive urgency where POCUS disclosed the presence of hypervolemia despite unremarkable physical examination. The sonographic...

... ultrafiltration [UF], target weight, and session time prescriptions) were studied in 190 prevalent dialysis patients (female: 42%, mean age: 69.5 years, median vintage: 40.2 months, diabetes: 34.7%, loop diuretic prescription: 5.8%) and averaged during the final quarter of 2010. Patient survival was analysed...

...Buyun Wu; Jian Sun; Si Liu; Xiangbao Yu; Yamei Zhu; Huijuan Mao; Changying Xing Background/Aims: The study aimed to investigate the relationship among mortality of patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI), fluid balance, and ultrafiltration of renal replacement therapy...

... of diuretic-sparing therapeutic strategies have been explored. Extracorporeal ultrafiltration (UF) represents an intriguing option that presumably lacks many of the untoward effects of diuretic-based regimens while portending several advantages. However, conflicting data have recently emerged in relation...

...Amir Kazory Enhanced removal of sodium has often been cited as an advantage of ultrafiltration (UF) therapy over diuretic-based medical treatment in the management of acute decompensated heart failure. However, so far clinical studies have rarely evaluated the precise magnitude of sodium removal...

..., sodium removal and ultrafiltration (UF) were compared using analysis of variance. Compared to treatment A, all the tested alternative schedules were associated with 10% significantly higher urea clearance; B, D and E, but not C, were associated with 10% higher creatinine clearance. Phosphate clearance...

... automatically via specific software in the dialysis machine: predilution on demand and backflush on demand. Predilution on demand consists in an automatic feedback of the machine, diverting part of the filtered dialysate into a predilution mode with an infusion of 200 ml in 30 s while the ultrafiltration pump...

...), percent blood volume reduction on dialysis (%BV), ejection fraction (EF), and ultrafiltration on dialysis (UF). Results: Positive findings included associations with lung comet measurements with pre-dialysis Diastolic BP (r = 0.534, p = 0.015), subject age (r = -0.446, p = 0.049), and a combination of EF...

... congestion and diuretics resistance is the primary cause of HF-related hospital admissions and readmissions. Isolated ultrafiltration (UF), which can be considered as a ‘mechanical diuretic and natriuretic' tool, offers promise in achieving safe and effective fluid volume removal in HF patients with CRS who...
