title: [Haemofiltration in children. First experiences (author's transl)].
abstract: Haemofiltration was used in 12 children with terminal chronic renal failure. This method is an alternative for short-term treatment of renal failure by haemodialysis and can be combined with the single-needle-technique. It was also used in a 2 years old girl with acute renal failure. The main advantages of haemofiltration versus haemodialysis are a more rapid removal of fluid in the presence of stable blood pressure readings and a good tolerance by the patient. The primary indication for haemofiltration is hypervolaemia. The high water and salt losses during the procedure have to be exactly calculated and substituted. According to our current experience the volume needed for substitution of filtrate by fluid to be infused i.v. has to be in the range of 50% of body weight.
