Continuous Renal-Replacement Therapy for Acute Kidney Injury
Copyright © 2012 Massachusetts Medical Society. Acute limb ischemia due to a perioperative type B (distal) thoracic aortic dissection develops in a 90-kg, 20-year-old man with Marfan’s syndrome who is admitted to the hospital for elective aortic-valve replacement. On postoperative day 1, he undergoes endovascular repair of the thoracic aorta. On postoperative day 4, his urine output decreases t...
متن کاملLow-dose continuous renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury.
BACKGROUND Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is used increasingly to treat acute kidney injury (AKI), which is a common condition in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, the optimal CRRT dose for the treatment of AKI is still a matter of controversy. This study was conducted to ascertain the minimal dose of CRRT that can be effective on AKI patient outcomes. METHODS This was a re...
متن کاملIntensity of continuous renal replacement therapy in acute kidney injury.
The intensity of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is generally assessed on the basis of small solute clearance with dosing usually expressed in terms of total effluent volume per unit time (e.g., ml/kg/hour). Although several clinical trials have suggested an improvement in survival with higher doses of CRRT, results have not been consistent across all studies. The results of recent ...
متن کاملRenal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury.
The treatment of established acute kidney injury (AKI) is largely supportive in nature. Renal replacement therapy remains the cornerstone of management for the minority of patients who have severe AKI. Optimization of renal replacement therapy may modulate the high mortality associated with AKI. Recent trials indicated that continuous renal replacement therapy does not confer a survival advanta...
متن کاملRenal replacement therapy in acute kidney injury.
Although the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) to support critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) has become routine, many of the fundamental questions regarding optimal management of RRT remain. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the timing of initiation of RRT, the selection of the specific modality of RRT, and prescription of the intensity of therapy. Altho...
