Multidisciplinary guidelines on renal replacement therapy in intensive care medicine.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is frequently used in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). Here, we provide guidelines for the management of RRT in critically ill patients on the intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods

We convened a systemic literature research and a Delphi process with a bi-national multidisciplinary consensus panel including 22 clinicians of 12 different German-speaking societies (Germany and Austria) with expertise in RRT. This structured guideline process was the basis for the evidence-based statements and recommendations.

Results

We identified seven clinical areas needing guidance: (1) start, (2) modality (diffusion and convection), (3) continuous/ intermittent, (4) anticoagulation, (5) dose (6) pharmacotherapy, (7) stopp
