Summary
The patients with severe hypernatremia who received conventional treatment are often
undertreated. Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) can effectively remove solute or
water from circulation system. Several case reports demonstrated that CVVH could effectively
decrease serum sodium concentration of the patients with severe hypernatremia. The use of
CVVH for acute severe hypernatremia in critically ill patients could improve patient survival
by effectively decreasing the serum sodium concentration to a normal level.
