A study was performed in order to observe haemodynamic changes induced by haemodialysis in 14 patients with acute renal failure and severe sepsis. Left ventricular function, as assessed by changes in pulmonary wedge pressure and left ventricular stroke work index through plasma volume expansion, did not change during haemodialysis. Ultrafiltration-induced decreases in cardiac index provoked in 8 patients, with nearly normal initial systemic arteriolar resistance, had adequate and constant increase in their resistance (p less than 0.001), whereas 6 patients with low initial systemic arteriolar resistance did not increase their resistance and had a frequent (9/13 measurements) and significant (p less than 0.001) fall in mean aortic pressure. This abnormality of vascular tone is probably due to severe sepsis and explains why hypotension is a frequent occurrence during haemodialysis in such patients.
