Intensity of Renal Support in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury

Abstract: Intensive renal support in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury did not decrease mortality, improve recovery of kidney function, or reduce the rate of nonrenal organ failure as compared with less-intensive therapy involving a defined dose of intermittent hemodialysis three times per week and continuous renal-replacement therapy at 20 ml per kilogram per hour. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00076219.)

“…We anticipated an increase in gain from pulse BP to strain (∣H 2 (f)∣), based on the positive correlation between increased distension of the CCA (reduced stiffness) and BRS gain values [45,46,47]. However, our results show a decrease in vascular and overall BRS gain, simultaneously with an increase in distension, which is contrary to other findings.…”

“…For this application, the pulse repetition frequency was 580 Hz, while peripheral BP and ECG are used as reference signals. Using the R-top of the ECG as a synchronization point, dedicated signal processing [30] provides a continuous output of end-diastolic diameter and the variation in diameter over a cardiac cycle (distension waveform) based on the evaluation of half-overlapping signal segments with a duration of 21 ms. Even though the ultrasound system interlaces B- and M-mode, the configuration allows selective capturing of ultrasound signals generated in M-mode only.…”

“…The Acute Renal Failure Trial Network (ARFTN) study demonstrated that there is no benefit of intermittent haemodialysis six times a week vs three times a week or CVVHDF at a dose of 35 ml/kg/h vs 20 ml/kg/h [26]. Similarly The Randomized Evaluation of Normal versus Augmented Level (RENAL) replacement therapy study failed to show any advantage of 40 ml/kg/h CVVHDF vs 20 ml/kg/h [27].…”

“…One was an American study, published in 2008, which included 1124 patients and compared doses of 20 and 35 mL kg -1 h -1 , finding no difference in mortality [14]. The other was an Australian study, published in 2009, which included 1508 patients and compared doses of 25 and 40 mL kg -1 h -1 , again finding no difference in mortality [15].…”

“…The VA/NIH Acute Renal Failure Trial Network study [4] found higher incidences of hypotension, requiring vasopressor support and electrolyte disturbances such as hypophosphatemia and hypokalemia, and a longer duration of both RRT and hospital stay in the high-intensity group compared with the less-intensive group. The Renal Replacement Therapy study [15] documented seven serious adverse events (three cases of disequilibrium syndrome despite the early initiation of RRT; [6,14,15] one case of cerebral edema; one case of rectal bleeding; one case of cardiac arrest; and one case of too rapid correction of hyponatremia). In the lower-intensity group, there were five serious adverse events (three cases of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia; one case of hypoxemia; and one of cardiogenic shock).…”
