Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) in Intensive Care

In the last 20 years specific methods of dialysis, different from those usually provided in chronic uremic patients has been developed for CRRT in ICUs patients. In the last 20 years, clinical experiences have demonstrated that continuous and intermittenttechniques (prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy, PIRRT) are overlapping for efficacy and patients survival. In addition, in this brief review we focus on recent data shedding light on two crucial points of high clinical impact on CRRT practice, such as dose of dialysis and anticoagulation of extracorporealcircuit.
