Early venovenous haemodiafiltration for sepsis-related multiple organ failure
In a prospective observational study that included 60 consecutive patients over a 10-year period, Page and coworkers [1] studied the effects of early continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) during sepsis-induced multiple organ failure. In two-thirds of the patients rapid metabolic improvement during CVVHDF was associated with circulatory improvement and a low mortality rate, whereas l...
متن کاملEarly veno-venous haemodiafiltration for sepsis-related multiple organ failure
INTRODUCTION We conducted a prospective observational study from January 1995 to December 2004 to evaluate the impact on recovery of a major advance in renal replacement therapy, namely continuous veno-venous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF), in patients with refractory septic shock. METHOD CVVHDF was implemented after 6-12 hours of maximal haemodynamic support, and base excess monitoring was used...
متن کاملMetabolic support in sepsis and multiple organ failure.
The metabolic support of critically ill patients is a relatively new topic of active research and discussion, and surprisingly little is known about the effects of critical illness on metabolic physiology and activity. The metabolic changes seen in critical illness are highly complex, and how and when to treat them are only just beginning to be determined. Studies have demonstrated that the acu...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve function in sepsis and multiple organ failure.
Forty-three patients who had sepsis and multiple organ failure (critical illness) were studied prospectively to determine the incidence and severity of peripheral nerve function and to correlate such function with a number of variables. Electrophysiologic studies indicated a primary axonal degeneration of motor and sensory fibers in 30 (70 percent). Fifteen (30 percent) had the clinical signs o...
متن کاملMarked hypercalcaemia in sepsis-induced multiple organ failure.
HNF-1b mutations. Most importantly, patients with an HNF-1b mutation may also be at risk of developing renal cell carcinomas, since recent evidence suggests that HNF-1b is a tumour suppressor gene [5]. In conclusion, patients with unexplained nephropathy and/or renal cysts should be routinely screened for an HNF-1b mutation in order to differentiate the RCAD syndrome from diabetic nephropathy. ...
