ABSOLUTE INDICATIONS FOR RRT
Usually,
RRT is not commenced at values < 6.5
mmol/L where this is the sole indication.
2.Metabolic acidosis
No specific threshold
4.Uremia
Progressive azotemia itself may be used as an indication
Oliguria/anuria
used as a trigger .
Other indications – severe electrolyte disorders
Severe hypermagnesaemia
Usually observed at magnesium levels of 3–5 mmol/L.
Severe hypercalcemia
Severe hypercalcaemia requiring RRT is a rarity
Severe dysnatraemia
Serum sodium levels of <115 or >160 mmol/L are quoted as
indications for RRT.
Radiocontrast nephropathy
EARLY vs LATE
WHAT DOES “TIMING” CLEARLY MEAN?
NO CONSENSUS
Biochemical measures
Conclusions:
Earlier institution of RRT in critically ill patients with AKI may
have a beneficial impact on survival. However, this conclusion is
based on heterogeneous studies of variable quality and only two
RCTs
In the absence of new evidence from suitably-designed randomised
trials, a definitive treatment recommendation cannot be made.
Artificial Kidney Initiation in Kidney Injury (AKIKI)
trial
Multicenter trial
Delayedstrategy- RRT-free
days were greater and CRBSI
was lower
JAMA. 2016;315(20):2190-2199
Single-center trial
Comparing early RRT - n = 112(within 8 hours of
diagnosis of KDIGO stage 2 )with delayed RRT n =
119(within 12 hours of stage 3 AKI or no initiation or upon
an absolute indication) -
For eligibility - NGAL > 150 ng/ml and at least one of
sepsis, fluid overload, worsening SOFA score, or receiving
vasoactive support.
CONCLUSIONS
STARRT AKI
IDEAL ICU
Initiate RRT emergently when life-threatening
changes in fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance
exist. (Not Graded)
1. HAEMODIALYSIS – DIFFUSION
Blood being pumped through an extracorporeal system
that incorporates a dialyzer
Process of solute transport across a semi-permeable membrane
Driven by concentration gr. between blood & dialysate fluid.
Counter current flow system .
Effective for small sized molecules
Efficiency is affected by :
Rate of blood flow .
Membrane properties .
Rate of flow of dialysate .
Membrane surface area .
2.HAEMOFILTRATION – CONVECTION
Flexibility
SLEDD-f or SLED-f
ED or EDD
Intermittent haemodialysis
Dialysing with higher flow rates than CRRT for defined
periods of time.

CONCLUSIONS
Hemofiltration is superior to peritoneal
dialysis in the treatment of infection-associated
acute renal failure.

HVHF in patients with septic shock with AKI
DOSE AND ADEQUACY OF RRT - KDIGO
The dose of RRT to be delivered should be prescribed before
starting each session of RRT. (Not Graded)
2. Vascular access
Diameter - 13 or 14 F
3. Anticoagulation
5. Replacement fluids :
We suggest using bicarbonate, rather than lactate, as a
buffer in dialysate and replacement fluid :
