Abstract
Objective To analyze the efficacy of hemofiltration in the treatment of severe diabetic nonketotic hyperosmolar syndrome ( NKHS ).Methods The clinical data on 21 patients undergoing hemofiltration for NKHS ( study group )were compared with those on 28 patients receiving conventional treatment for NKHS ( control group ).Time to a decline in blood glucose to a level of 8 mmoL/L,time to restoration of osmotic pressure to a level of 320 mOsm/L,survival rate,and mortality rate were compared between the two groups.Results In the study group,levels of blood glucose and osmotic pressure returned to normal more rapidly.It,as compared with the control group,had a higher success rate and a lower mortality rate,with a significant difference ( P＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Hemofiltration is more effective in the treatment of severe diabetic nonketotic hyperosmolar syndrome and is worth popularizing clinically. Key words: Hemofiltration; Severe diabetic nonketotic hyperosmolar syndrome; Severe diabetes
