The Skeggs-Leonards artificial kidney and related methods were applied by the author in about thirty instances in patients with various kinds of renal disease. The treatment brought about clinical improvement of varying degree and appeared to be life-saving in four of five patients with acute renal failure. Treatment with the artificial kidney is indicated for patients with acute renal failure who develop clinical signs of uremia. The artificial kidney should be applied before the patient's condition has become irreversible. Removal of edema fluid is possible with modern artificial kidney equipment and appears to extend the therapeutic possibilities of the procedure. The artificial kidney may be of help in barbiturate and other intoxications. It affords temporary palliation in certain patients with chronic uremia; it may be used to overcome acute exacerbations of chronic renal disease; it may make it possible to operate on uremic patients who otherwise could not withstand operation.
作者将斯凯格斯 - 伦纳德人工肾及相关方法应用于约30例患有各种肾病的患者。治疗带来了不同程度的临床改善,在五例急性肾衰竭患者中,有四例似乎挽救了生命。人工肾治疗适用于出现尿毒症临床症状的急性肾衰竭患者。应在患者病情变得不可逆转之前应用人工肾。使用现代人工肾设备可以清除水肿液,这似乎扩展了该治疗方法的可能性。人工肾可能有助于治疗巴比妥类药物及其他中毒情况。它能使某些慢性尿毒症患者得到暂时缓解;可用于克服慢性肾病的急性加重;还可能使原本无法耐受手术的尿毒症患者能够接受手术。
