[Continuous veno-venous hemofiltration in treatment of acute severe hyponatremia: a report of 6 cases].
To investigate the effect of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) in the treatment of acute severe hyponatremia. ⋯ CVVH is effective in the treatment of acute severe hyponatremia, and could be considered as a treatment option because of its slow and continuous nature. A low-sodium replacement solution should be prepared to minimize its sodium concentration difference from the serum concentration. We recommend that the serum sodium concentration be corrected at an average rate of (2.50 +/- 0.14) mmol.L(-1).h(-1) at 6 h, (1.2 +/- 0.1) mmol.L(-1).h(-1) at 24 h and (0.82 +/- 0.10) mmol.L(-1).h(-1) at 48 h.
