Overview

Admission renal indices may predict ultrafiltration response in intractable HF; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Do baseline renal indices predict responsiveness to ultrafiltration therapies in patients with intractable heart failure?

P
Population
17 patients with intractable heart failure who did not respond to aggressive medical treatment
I
Intervention
Ultrafiltration therapies (isolated ultrafiltration, hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis)
O
Outcome
Responsiveness to ultrafiltration therapiessurrogate

Baseline renal indices such as FENa, RFI, and U/P Cr may be useful in predicting whether patients with intractable heart failure will respond to ultrafiltration therapies.
