Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a fluid management system for use in the treatment of heart failure by removing excess sodium, the system comprising an infusate for infusion into, and drainage from, a peritoneal cavity of a patient having at least residual kidney function, the infusate having a sodium concentration equal to or less than 35 meq/L; an implantable pump (20); a peritoneal catheter (23) coupled to the implantable pump and a peritoneal cavity; and a bladder catheter (25) coupled to the implantable pump and a bladder, wherein the implantable pump is configured to pump fluid comprising the infusate, after a dwell period, from the peritoneal cavity via the peritoneal catheter into the bladder via the bladder catheter to alleviate fluid overload while maintaining a stable serum sodium level.
