title: [Haemofiltration in terminal renal failure (author's transl)].
abstract: The concentrations of low-molecular retention products rise during long-term haemodialysis, without any apparent side effects. The authors, having performed haemofiltration in 18 patients who had been on a chronic dialysis programme, conclude that haemofiltration is generally better tolerated than conventional haemodialysis. Haemofiltration benefitted the majority of dialysis-resistant hypertensives, and it also favourably influenced uraemic polyneuropathy. Indications for haemofiltration are thought to be dialysis-resistant hypertension, severe polyneuropathy, and dialysis intolerance.
