Initiation of renal replacement therapy: is timing everything?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute kidney injury is commonly encountered and in the critically ill treatment is principally supportive. A recent large, multicentre study has used retrospective analysis to try and identify patient outcomes when commencing renal replacement therapy using conventional biochemical and physiological markers. The authors have also made an attempt to decipher when to commence renal replacement therapy.

Renal replacement therapy I: indications and timing.
The indications for initiation of renal replacement therapy in acute renal failure are controversial. Although volume overload, metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia and other electrolyte disturbances, and overt uremic manifestations are commonly accepted indications for renal replacement therapy, specific criteria for initiation of therapy based on these conditions are highly subjective. Progressiv...
متن کاملTiming of continuous renal replacement therapy and mortality in critically ill children*.
OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury and fluid overload frequently necessitate initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU. In this study, our primary objective was to determine the effect of timing of initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy on ICU mortality in children requiring renal support for management of acute kidney injury and/o...
متن کاملStandard versus accelerated initiation of renal replacement therapy in acute kidney injury (STARRT-AKI): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury is a common and devastating complication of critical illness, for which renal replacement therapy is frequently needed to manage severe cases. While a recent systematic review suggested that "earlier" initiation of renal replacement therapy improves survival, completed trials are limited due to small size, single-centre status, and use of variable definitions to d...
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 کاملThe timing of dialysis initiation affects the incidence of renal replacement therapy.
BACKGROUND Variations in the timing of dialysis initiation may explain some geographical variations in renal replacement therapy (RRT) incidence, but this effect has never been quantified. METHODS Using data from the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network registry, we quantified the association between RRT incidence in 2006-07 and median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...
