Does peritoneal dialysis with hypertonic dextrose improve fluid status and hemodynamics in patients with refractory congestive heart failure?
Peritoneal dialysis with hypertonic dextrose effectively removes excess fluid, improves hemodynamics, and restores diuretic responsiveness in patients with refractory congestive heart failure.
Lionel U. Mailloux (1967) studied this question.
