Die Peritonealdialyse zur Behandlung der postoperativen Niereninsuffizienz nach herz-und gefäßchirurgischen Eingriffen (Indikation, Technik, Komplikationen, Resultate)

Abstract

In 1972 and 1973 there have been 698 (351 with ECC) cardiovascular surgical procedures. 29 cases of renal insufficiency were seen in this group, 15 requiring peritoneal dialysis. There were only two survivors in the latter group. However none died due to renal insufficiency. The indication, technique, complications, results are discussed in detail.

The Diagnosis of Acute Renal Failure (ARF) Following Cardiac Surgery with Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass

“…Early criteria for recognition should therefore focus on pilot alterations typical of renal failure. Criteria for diagnosis reported in the literature are, however, not uniform (Table 2) (1,4,6,9,12,19). They include slight to large increases of serum urea and creatinine concentrations, oliguria, hyperkalemia, and, rarely, hypothenuria.…”
