Case Report
Does peritoneal dialysis improve symptoms in patients with refractory heart failure?
Peritoneal dialysis may be an effective long-term treatment strategy for managing volume overload and azotaemia in refractory heart failure.
Kagan et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Refractory heart failure. Peritoneal dialysis was evaluated. Peritoneal dialysis was reported as a successful and highly effective treatment for managing hypervolaemia and azotaemia in several cases of refractory heart failure.
