Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration in the treatment of acute hyperammonemia

M C Braun et al. Am J Nephrol. 1998.

Abstract

Acute hyperammonemia is an emergent cause of central nervous system dysfunction for which renal replacement therapy is advocated. We report the successful use of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration in this metabolic emergency, and report the calculated ammonia clearances for both continuous venovenous hemofiltration and hemodiafiltration.
