Abstract
AbstractDengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) is recognized to have high mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF). They are at high risk of shock during the ascending limb of the critical phase of DHF, fluid overload during convalescence and bleeding throughout the entire illness. Physiological changes and medications used in CKD/HF make the diagnosis and monitoring of DHF difficult. Treatment with standard fluid regimens also poses a challenge due to the propensity for fluid overload. As a result, standard dengue guidelines do not provide recommendations on fluid management regimens in DHF with CKD/HF. This article provides a narrative review on the existing evidence for management of DHF in patients with volume-changed states such as HF, CKD and nephrotic/ nephritic syndromes. It will explore the relevant diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas, acknowledge the challenges for developing guidelines and recommend strategies to improve fluid management in these groups of patients.
