title: Biofiltration in chronic uremia: evaluation of long-term efficiency and hemodynamic tolerance with Swan-Ganz catheter.
abstract: Biochemical data and clinical tolerance were evaluated in eight uremic patients treated by Biofiltration (BF) for 5-20 months. In four patients hemodynamic parameters were monitored with a Swan-Ganz catheter during a session of BF. BF provides long-term biochemical safety and improved tolerance to fluid removal.
