Extracorporeal dialysis in neonatal hyperammonemia : modalities and prognostic indicators

We investigated the prognostic indicators in ten hyperammonemic neonates: four treated by continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis (CAVHD), four with continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD), and two with hemodialysis (HD). Plasma ammonium levels decreased significantly within the first 24 h irrespec...

Zusammenfassung:	We investigated the prognostic indicators in ten hyperammonemic neonates: four treated by continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis (CAVHD), four with continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD), and two with hemodialysis (HD). Plasma ammonium levels decreased significantly within the first 24 h irrespective of dialysis modality (from 1419 to 114 micromol/l, median values; P
