Abstract
Intermittant hemofiltration (IH) was used in the treatment of acute re nal failure (ARF) in 11 glomerulonephritis patients with nephrotic syn drome. IH was found effective in the above patients as it provides fas t relief of interstitial edema of tile essential for life organs (the kidneys, liver, lungs, etc.), control of plasma urea and potassium. In nephritis patients with ARF IH is superior to isolated ultrafiltratio n in providing 10 times higher urea clearance.
