  Purpose

The goal of the present study is the comparison of different dialysis strategies in critically ill patients with acute renal failure on the intensive care unit. Patients are treated with either continuous dialysis or hemofiltration. Outcome measures are death, restitution of renal function, days on ICU, hemodynamic stability, dialysis efficiency.

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: SLED Procedure: Renal replacement therapy
ICU patients with acute renal failure were prospectively randomized to either CVVHD or SLED
Other Names:
  • sustained low efficiency dialysis (SLED)
  • continous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHD)
Active Comparator: CVVHD Procedure: Renal replacement therapy
ICU patients with acute renal failure were prospectively randomized to either CVVHD or SLED
Other Names:
  • sustained low efficiency dialysis (SLED)
  • continous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHD)

Detailed Description:

The goal of the present study is the comparison of different renal replacement strategies in critically ill patients with acute renal failure on the intensive care unit. In a prospectively randomized clinical study patients are treated with either continuous dialysis (SLED) or continuous hemofiltration (CVVHD). 200 patients should be included in the study (n=100 each). The primary outcome is death at ICU, secondary outcome measures are restitution of renal function, days on ICU, hemodynamic stability, dialysis efficiency.
