Abstract:
The treatment of renal failure by the artificial kidney comprised hemodialysis, hemofiltration and CAPD. Hemodialysis is not without side effect such as hypotension, dysequilibrium syndrome. Hemodialysis is a treatment of choice in hemodynamic stable patients where fluid overload is not a major problem. When multiorgan failure. Such difficulties have been overcome by the introduction of specific modalities for the treatment of acute renal failure, named continuous artiovenous hemofiltration (CAVH) which have become nowadays a popular renal replacement therapy in the intensive care units.
