1
Where changes in fluorescence occurred following filtration they were correlated with potential controlling variables.
2
No significant change in HLF following filtration across all data indicates these fluorophores are extracellular.
3
Methods: We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE for studies that evaluated outcomes following filtration compared to diuretic therapy in ADHF.
4
Following filtration, ascitic fluid is dialysed against demineralized water and centrifuged at 22,000 X g for 30 min.
5
Nine studies evaluated weight change following filtration and the pooled results suggest a decline in mean body weight -1.8; 95% CI, -4.68 to 0.97 kg.
