Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) can be treated either by continuous forms of extracorporeal treatment (CRRT) or by intermittent hemodialysis (IHD). Treatment should be started early to avoid organ damage. In critically ill patients treated with CRRT a dosage of 25 ml/kg/h should be achieved to avoid further damage and to improve outcome. With intermittent hemodialysis fluid balancing often requires 4 to 5 treatments per week. Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) prevents bleeding complications. To optimize patient’s outcome individualized treatment strategies are required rather than prescribing by the traditional ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
