Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration Versus Conventional Treatment for Acute Severe Hypernatremia

Air Force Military Medical University of People's Liberation Army

Status: Unknown

Conditions: Hypernatremia; Critically Ill

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

CVVH-Na-002

Details and patient eligibility

About

The patients with severe hypernatremia who received conventional treatment are often undertreated. Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) can effectively remove solute or water from circulation system. Several case reports demonstrated that CVVH could effectively decrease serum sodium concentration of the patients with severe hypernatremia. The use of CVVH for acute severe hypernatremia in critically ill patients could improve patient survival by effectively decreasing the serum sodium concentration to a normal level.

---

60 participants in 2 patient groups

continuous venovenous hemofiltration

Active Comparator group

Description:

CVVH was mainly determined by the differences of sodium concentration between serum and replacement fluid. The rate of decline serum sodium could be real-time adjusted using different-sodium-concentration replacement fluid according to the updated serum sodium concentration.

Treatment:

Procedure: continuous venovenous hemofiltration

Control group

Active Comparator group

Description:

Treatment of hypernatremia is correction of water deficit.

Treatment:

Drug: Control group
