- Title
Fluid Management during Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy: A Case-Based Approach.

- Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is frequently used for fluid management of critically ill patients with acute or chronic kidney failure. There is significant practice variation worldwide in fluid management during CRRT. Multiple clinical studies have suggested that both the magnitude and duration of fluid overload are associated with morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Therefore, timely and effective fluid management with CRRT is paramount in managing critically ill patients with fluid overload. While the optimal method of fluid management during CRRT is still unclear and warrants further investigation, observational data have suggested a U-shape relationship between net ultrafiltration rate and mortality. Furthermore, recent clinical data have underpinned a significant gap in prescribed versus achieved fluid balance during CRRT, which is also associated with mortality. This review uses a case-based approach to discuss two fluid management strategies based on net ultrafiltration rate and fluid balance goals during CRRT and harmonizes operational definitions.
