title: Urgent hemosorption in leptospirosis.
abstract: Resistant oliguria with increasing serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level are the most important early signs of the development of acute renal failure in leptospirosis. This symptomocomplex must be considered as indication for urgent hemosorption. Diuresis and normalisation of creatine phosphokinase level are the criteria for accessing the efficiency of hemosorptions.
