Results of using the method of sequential ultrafiltration with hemodialysis and that of hemodiafiltration in the treatment of 70 patients with acute and chronic renal failure in terminal states are described. The patients were under observation in the course of 202 procedures of hemodiafiltration and 175 sequential ultrafiltration with hemodialysis. Apart from this, 21 procedures of isolated ultrafiltration were carried out in patients with pronounced cardiac failure, irreversible pulmonary edema resulting from acute myocardial infarction and heart diseases. Sequential ultrafiltration and hemodialysis were performed by means of home-produced equipment SGD using Cuprofan dialysis film and capillary dialyzators. The volume of ultrafiltration ranged from 1 to 8 litres/procedure at a rate of 17-500 ml/min, at a transmembrane pressure 100-400 mmHg. It was found that sequential ultrafiltration with hemodialysis was indicated for patients in terminal states complicated by renal failure in the presence of severe fluid retention, pulmonary edema, patients with low tolerance to hemodiafiltration, and those in critical states (including irreversible pulmonary edema) of cardiological genesis.
