Continuous Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are the main renal replacement therapies for patients with acute renal failure. These patients are often unable to tolerate drastic fluid shifts and other complications of conventional dialysis. Continuous hemodialysis, however, provides protection from the hemodynamic consequences and osmotic stressors of conventional dialysis and is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for critically ill patients. We present a case in which a patient with a spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage developed acute renal failure. Surgical evacuation was not an option. Clinical management included the use of continuous venovenous hemodialysis, which is described in the setting of a patient with a posterior fossa mass. The risks of anticoagulation, hemodynamic instability, and development of dialysis disequilibrium syndrome are discussed.

Oliguric Acute Renal Failure

The pathogenesis of acute renal failure remains uncertain. From a clinical viewpoint the magnitude of the problem of nephrotoxic acute renal failure is now recognised as is the frequency of non-oliguric acute renal failure. Advances in patient management include the use of daily dialysis, lower heparin doses, single-needle dialysis, bicarbonate-base dialysis fluid, artificial kidneys with biocompatible membranes, H2 antagonists, and the use of soft silastic Tenckhoff catheters if peritoneal dialysis is the preferred form of therapy.
