Optimizing nutrition and metabolism in a severely burned patient during prolonged continuous renal replacement therapy: a case report.

ABSTRACT: It is rare for patients to survive and be discharged with extensive severe burns in combination with severe acute kidney injury (AKI). The case under discussion involved a patient who had sustained critical burn injuries, with 96% of the patient's total body surface area affected, 80% of which were categorized as third-degree burns. Severe AKI was observed on the initial day following the burn injury, and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) was commenced on the subsequent day. In response to inadequate oral intake, long-term enteral and supplemental parenteral nutrition was administered. To address the hypermetabolic state and promote wound healing, a dynamic, individualized nutritional support plan was implemented during the patient's hospitalization. Regular monitoring of patient
