Eight patients with acute left heart failure refractory to diuretics were treated by haemofiltration. Used conventionally the filtration membranes need a high pressure gradient. But the hollow-fibre kidney use in the last three patients required merely normal arterial venous pressure gradients. During an average heaemofiltration period of four hours 1000-2300 ml of plasma water were obtained. Pulmonary congestion improved in all patients; in five the arterial pressure returned to normal. Spontaneous diuresis was resumed in three. The clinical course was not influenced by haemofiltration in three instances. The advantages of haemofiltration are: reliable control of volume withdrawal, immediate effectiveness, technical simplicity, and absence of side effects.
