How I prescribe continuous renal replacement therapy
Emily See, Rinaldo Bellomo
Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) delivers gradual clearance of solutes, fluid balance control, and haemodynamic stability. CRRT does not appear to increase survival compared to intermittent renal replacement therapy (IRRT), but may affect renal recovery [ 1 , 2 ]. Here, we describe how we prescribe CRRT (Fig. 1 ).
