Abstract
Symptomatic intratreatment tolerance of patients to hemofiltration as found to be quantitatively superior to their tolerance to equivalent dialysis in both acute and chronic treatment series at matched sodium ion transport. These results refute an earlier speculative hypothesis that the better vascular stability during hemofiltration compared to hemodialysis is an artifact due to purportedly higher sodium transport during postdilution hemofiltration. In fact, corollary studies of catecholamine levels during matched hemofiltration and hemodialysis suggest that the improved tolerance to hemofiltration was a consequence of better maintained vasoconstrictive activity.
