Vascular access remains one of the most challenging aspects renal replacement therapy. New European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) Clinical practice guideline on peri- and postoperative care arteriovenous fistulas grafts for haemodialysis was published in 2019 (https://doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfz072). During Advisory Board meeting ERBP, official guidance providing body ERA-EDTA, it decided that ERBP wi...

BACKGROUND The timing of renal-replacement therapy in critically ill patients who have acute kidney injury but no potentially life-threatening complication directly related to renal failure is a subject of debate. METHODS In this multicenter randomized trial, we assigned patients with severe acute kidney injury (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes [KDIGO] classification, stage 3 [stages...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) was the first modality used for renal replacement therapy (RRT) of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) because of its inherent advantages as compared to Hemodialysis. It provides the nephrologist with nonvascular alternative for renal replacement therapy. It is an inexpensive modality in developing countries and does not require highly trained staff or a complex app...
