Abstract
Introduction: Head to head comparisons between ultrafiltration (UF) and intravenous diuretics (IVD) have consistently revealed superior volume removal and weight reduction with UF. However, the impact of these therapies in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) on total body sodium, potassium, and magnesium has not been described. Hypothesis: UF, beyond removing excessive volume as compared to IVD, also removes more sodium and less potassium and magnesium. Methods: Fifteen hospitalized ADHF patients with presumed diuretic resistance and clinical evidence of volume overload had their urine electrolyte concentrations measured after a dose of IVD.
