title: Cardiac tamponade secondary to hemorrhagic pericarditis during continuous hemofiltration for renal failure. The role of the anticoagulant.
abstract: Cardiac tamponade secondary to hemorrhagic pericarditis during continuous hemofiltration (CHF) for renal failure is reported. Cardiac tamponade developed while heparin was being used as an anticoagulant and did not recur when nafamostat mesilate was substituted. The role of the anticoagulant in the etiology of hemorrhagic pericarditis in dialysis patients is discussed.
