Ultrafiltration for acute decompensated heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

摘要

For patients with ADHF, UF is effective in reducing fluid retention and body weight, with no significant benefits in mortality or rehospitalization. The current limited randomized evidence highlights the need for further well-conducted randomized studies of adequate power to establish the role of UF in ADHF patients for whom conventional HF treatment is unsuccessful or contraindicated.
