Continuous renal replacement therapy in intensive care unit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute renal failure (ARF) requiring dialysis is a common complication of patients in intensive care unit (ICU). Dialysis can be performed with either intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). CRRT is associated with less hemodynamic instability. Therefore, it is preferred in critically ill and hypotensive patients in ICU. However, current evidence does not demonstrate the superiority of CRRT over IHD. Both methods for renal replacement therapy are complementary and the choice of dialysis in ICU should be individualized based on hemodynamic stability of patients and local expertise. Case Report

متن کاملRenal replacement therapy III: IHD, CRRT, SLED.
Acute renal failure in critically ill patients is a growing clinical problem. Options for renal replacement therapy in these patients use convective and diffusive clearance and may be intermittent, as in classic hemodialysis, or continuous. New ways of delivering dialysis in the intensive care unit, such as sustained low-efficiency dialysis, are also under development. It may be that renal repl...
