This document discusses renal replacement therapies in critical care. It begins with several questions about what therapy to use, when to start and stop it, how much therapy is needed, and whether outcomes can be improved. It then provides an overview of AKI classification systems and discusses the relationship between AKI severity and mortality. The document reviews evidence on initiating RRT, compares intermittent therapies to continuous therapies, and discusses solute clearance methods, major RRT techniques, and managing risks like hypotension. It also explores RRT as extracorporeal blood purification therapy and hypotheses about cytokine removal.
