Continuous KRT A Contemporary Review

J. Pedro Teixeira et al.

Summary: AKI, a common complication of critical illness, can be treated with continuous KRT, a form of dialysis. However, there is considerable variation in the application of continuous KRT due to a lack of standardization. This article provides an overview of the therapy, recent clinical trials, and outcome studies, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and quality assurance programs.

Experiences of Renal Replacement Therapy Delivery in Swedish Intensive Care Units during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Daniel Hertzberg et al.

Summary: The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden led to a significant increase in RRT demand in ICUs, resulting in staffing and equipment shortages, changes in CRRT protocols, and increased use of IHD and PD. The impact on patient outcomes should be evaluated for future surge capacity planning.

AKI Treated with Renal Replacement Therapy in Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19

Shruti Gupta et al.

Summary: The study found that AKI-RRT is common among critically ill patients with COVID-19, with a mortality rate of over 50%. For patients with AKI-RRT, older age, severe oliguria, and admission to a hospital with fewer ICU beds or higher density of COVID-19 were associated with higher 28-day mortality rates.

AKI in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19

Lili Chan et al.

Summary: The study found that AKI is common among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States, with a 46% occurrence rate and 19% of patients requiring dialysis. Independently predicting severe AKI were chronic kidney disease, male gender, and higher serum potassium levels at admission. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in patients with AKI compared to those without AKI, with only 30% of AKI patients recovering kidney function by the time of discharge.

Continuous renal replacement therapy and the COVID pandemic

Jacob S. Stevens et al.

Summary: Severe COVID-19 illness can lead to ischemic acute kidney injury, requiring renal replacement therapies with careful consideration for anticoagulation and shared treatment models. Disaster response plans are crucial in pandemic situations to address the increased demand for nephrology services.

Regional Citrate Anticoagulation for Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy With Calcium-Containing Solutions: A Cohort Study

Harin Rhee et al.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the safety and efficacy of RCA-CKRT using calcium-containing solutions in critically ill patients with liver disease or sepsis. The results suggest that RCA-CKRT with calcium-containing solutions is feasible and safe in these patients, leading to longer filter life but potential metabolic complications such as hypocalcemia or hypercalcemia.

Protocol for Local On-Site Dialysate Production for Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Andrew A. Moses et al.

Summary: AKI is common in COVID-19 patients, with severe kidney injury often requiring RRT. Due to high demand and supply chain vulnerabilities during the pandemic surge, alternative approaches including on-site production of dialysate were necessary. Using specific equipment and testing methods, the dialysate produced in-house showed stability and sterility for at least 30 hours, serving as a guide for other programs facing similar challenges.
