Abstract
Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) is the most widely used renal r eplacement therapy for the treatment of critically ill patients with acute renal failure on the intensive care unit. Whether or not congestive heart f ailure is an indication for CVVH is controversial and needs to be discussed . Therefore, we present a patient with congestive heart failure who was tre ated successfully with CVVH.
