Heart Failure and Peritoneal Ultrafiltration

April 19, 2017 updated by: Baxter Healthcare Corporation

Treatment-Resistant Heart Failure (HF) and Peritoneal Ultrafiltration (PUF): A Randomized Prospective Trial of Standard Care Versus Standard Care With Peritoneal Ultrafiltration in Patients With Treatment-Resistant Severe Heart Failure

The objective of the study is to determine if the addition of peritoneal ultrafiltration to standard therapy in treatment-resistant severe heart failure patients will improve fluid balance and functional capacity such that they will spend less time in the hospital and have an improved ambulatory quality of life in comparison to patients who remain on standard therapy alone.
