Overview

Renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains the cornerstone of management of patients with established acute kidney injury (AKI). Approximately 4% of all critically ill patients in the intensive care units require some sort of RRT treatment. The fundamental management issues remain controversial despite the routine use of RRT, including the timing of RRT initiation/cessation, RRT intensity and the choice of RRT modality. This article is a critical review of selected clinical trials published during 2009 and bringing new advances in the realm of RRT in critically ill patients.
