Acute Renal Replacement Therapy
Paul M. Palevsky, MD
(ASN Board Review Course, August, 2008.)
Palevsky: Is it better to initiate dialysis earlier or later in the course of acute kidney injury? What did the early observational trials show, and were they confirmed by randomized trials? Is CRRT better than IHD? To what extent to the studies agree or disagree? If IHD, is 6/week better than 3/week? Why was the ATN study negative? How can it be reconciled with the study by Schiffl et al? In CRRT does the volume of replacement fluid used affect survival? How can we achieve maximum hemodynamic stability when dialyzing patients with AKI? What are the benefits and drawbacks of using citrate for anticoagulation? (more...)

Acute Kidney Injury. Congestive Heart Failure: A Nephrologist's Disease? (Murray) and AKI Therapeutics: From Bench to Commercialisation (Molitoris)
Patrick T. Murray, MD, FASN and Bruce A. Molitoris, MD
(ASN Renal Week Clinical Nephrology Conference, November, 2007.)
Murray: What's the role of the nephrologist in caring for patients with congestive heart failure? What should the optimal interaction be between nephrologists and cardiologists? What is cardiorenal syndrome? How does pharmacotherapy of congestive heart failure impact the kidney? What is the role of ultrafitration therapy?
Molitoris: What is the role of the academic medical center in commercializing new discoveries? In particular, what was the pathway for commercialization of a new method of supravital imaging of renal function through in vivo fluorescence microscopy that was developed at Indiana University? (more...)


key This quiz by Dr. Michael Kraus and Dr. Ed Sha deals with ANTICOAGULATION IN CRRT . It discusses the various anticoagulation methods available, their relative utility, and indications.
Note: Feedback section works with Internet Explorer only.

key Try Dr. Kraus's MODALITY CHOICE IN THE ICU poll. This poll queries the physician and RN audience with regard to how often CRRT is used in their ICUs, what type of CRRT is chosen, how much replacement fluid is ordered, and what sort of anticoagulation is used.
