The Reduction Rate of Serum Sodium and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration for Acute Severe Hypernatremia

摘要

Background: The excessive correction of acute hypernatremia is not known to be harmful. This study aimed to evaluate whether a reduction rate of serum sodium (RRSeNa) > 1 mEq/L/hour in acute severe hypernatremia is an independent risk factor for mortality in critically ill patients undergoing continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) treatment.
