Early Ultrafiltration Therapy in a Patient with Decompansated Heart Failure and Acute Pulmonary Edema in the Setting of Diuretic Resistance

Öz

Congestive heart failure is a major mortality cause in developed countries. In patients with decompensated heart failure who are resistant to diuretic treatment options are limited. Application of ultrafiltration therapy is a reasonable alternative in the setting of decompensated heart failure with diuretic resistance. We report a 74 years old woman with acute decompensated heart failure who did not respond to diuretic and was treated with ultrafiltration therapy with a successful outcome. Key words: Congestive heart failure, Diuretic resistance, Ultrafiltration

Kalp Yetmezliğine Bağlı Akut Akciğer Ödemine Giren Hastada Ortaya Çıkan Diüretik Rezistansının Erken Ultrafiltrasyon İle Tedavisi

Öz

Kongestif kalp yetmezliği gelişmiş ülkelerde başta gelen ölüm sebepleri arasındadır. Diüretik rezistansı olan dekompanse kalp yetmezlikli hastalarda tedavi seçenekleri sınırlıdır. Diüretik rezistansı gelişen dekompanse kalp yetmezliği olgularında ultrafiltrasyon terapisi bir seçenek olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Olgu sunumumuzda diüretik rezistansı gelişmiş olan akut dekompanse kalp yetmezliğindeki 74 yaşındaki bayan hastanın ultrafiltrasyon ile tedavisi ve sonuçlarını sunduk. Anahtar kelimeler: Konjestif kalp yetmezliği, Diüretik rezistansı, Ultrafiltrasyon
