Slow, continuous kidney replacement for critically ill ICU patients — gentler than intermittent hemodialysis.
CRRT (CVVH, CVVHD, CVVHDF) runs 24 hours with lower ultrafiltration rates, preserving hemodynamic stability in shock, sepsis, and brain injury. It requires anticoagulation (citrate preferred) and specialized ICU nursing. The choice between CRRT and intermittent HD in AKI remains individualized.
A renal replacement therapy that removes fluid and solutes by convection — the basis of continuous therapies in the ICU.
A sudden drop in kidney function over hours to days - reversible if caught early, but a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease.
A medical procedure that filters waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood using a dialysis machine when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately.
Regional anticoagulation for CRRT using citrate — the preferred option in bleeding-risk ICU patients.
