Ultrafiltration during open-heart surgery in chronic renal failure. 1981

F Intonti, and P Alquati, and R Schiavello, and F Alessandrini

Ultrafiltration at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass is an important improvement in major cardiac surgery in patients with chronic renal failure and also in dialysis-dependent patients. It has many advantages over pre- and postoperative haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. The method, employing disposable equipment, is easy to use, does not prolong total pump time, as it is of short duration, and restores at the end of operation normovolaemia and haematocrit values.

D007676	Kidney Failure, Chronic	The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D002315	Cardiopulmonary Bypass	Diversion of the flow of blood from the entrance of the right atrium directly to the aorta (or femoral artery) via an oxygenator thus bypassing both the heart and lungs.

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D014462	Ultrafiltration	The separation of particles from a suspension by passage through a filter with very fine pores. In ultrafiltration the separation is accomplished by convective transport; in DIALYSIS separation relies instead upon differential diffusion. Ultrafiltration occurs naturally and is a laboratory procedure. Artificial ultrafiltration of the blood is referred to as HEMOFILTRATION or HEMODIAFILTRATION (if combined with HEMODIALYSIS).
