Abstract

To evaluate the efficiency and tolerance of venovenous hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration, and hemodialysis with a two-pump system in a neonatal animal model of acute renal failure. Prospective trial. Animal laboratory at a large university-affiliated medical center. New Zealand white rabbits, weighing 3325 +/- 380 g. Venovenous hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration, and hemodialysis were performed in anesthetized rabbits with previous bilateral ureteral ligation. At a blood flow rate of 19 +/- 0.5 mL/min, we determined hematocrit, urea, creatinine, and electrolyte values in blood, at the inlet and outlet of the hemofilter, and in ultrafiltrate at the start and after 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 mins of hemofiltration (ultrafiltrate flow rate of 1.9 +/- 0.2 mL/min), hemodiafiltration (dialysate plus ultrafiltrate flow rate of 16.9 +/- 0.8 mL/min), and hemodialysis (dialysate flow rate of 15.7 +/- 1.1 mL/min). Arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature were monitored during the procedures. Urea and creatinine instantaneous clearances were higher with hemodiafiltration (8.0 +/- 0.7 and 6.2 +/- 0.7, respectively, n = 29) and hemodialysis (6.8 +/- 1.1 and 4.8 +/- 0.9, respectively, n = 31) than with hemofiltration (1.8 +/...Continue Reading
