Absence of transcellular fluid shift during haemofiltration.
Total body and extracellular fluid volume before and after haemofiltration were calculated using urea and inulin as markers. The change in plasma volume and interstitial fluid volume were also evaluated by haemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value. The extracellular fluid volume, especially interstitial fluid volume, was reduced, while intracellular fluid volume was not altered by haemofiltration.
