Diuretic-resistant congestive heart failure treated successfully with peritoneal ultrafiltration

Abstract: We present a case of successful peritoneal ultrafiltration (pUF) treatment in a 60 year-old patient diagnosed with diuretic-resistant congestive heart failure fulfilling the criteria for type 2 cardio-renal syndrome. Six months of pUF treatment with one daily dialysis exchange with icodextrin as an osmotic agent resulted in better functional status (from IV to II/III NYHA class), quality of life and improvement of haemodynamic parameters measured by impedance cardiography. During the follow-up (six months), pU… Show more

“…When the technique is implemented in a situation of acute heart decompensation, low volumes must be used (750 to 1000 mL), and the dialysis must be changed often (approximately every 1 -2 hours), with dialysis solutions based on icodextrin (a glucose polymer with a high ultrafiltration potential) or hypertonic glucose, in order to prevent complications, such as the pericatheter leakage of peritoneal fluid [10,11].…”
