Dialysis Therapy for Acute Renal Failure

Abstract

In our department, 63patients of acute renal failure have been treated by hemo or peritoneal dialysis. Total survival rate was 52.4% But postoperative acute renal failure, especially cardiovascular and hepatobiliary surgical renal failure was very bad. The survival rate of the 11 patients whose age were over 65-years-old was 27.3%.
V-V shunt by Shaldon's catheter is most suitable for blood access of acute renal failure because operation procedure is very easy.
The record of plethysmogram during hemodialysis is fit for monitoring of patients, particularly dilated wave and cardiac plateau wave suggest circulatory failure such as hypotension or arrhythmia.
