Comparison of Urea Clearance: CVVH vs CVVHD (Maxvold et al, Crit Care med Apr;28(4):1161-5) Urea Clearance (mls/min/1.73 m2) BFR = 4 mls/kg/min FRF/Dx FR = 2 l/1.73 m2/hr SAM = 0.3 m2 p = NS
Dialysis Dose and Outcome Ronco et al. Lancet 2000; 351: Conclusions: –Minimum UF rates should be ~ 35 ml/kg/hr –Survivors had lower BUNs than non-survivors prior to commencement of hemofiltration 425 patients Endpoint = survival 15 days after D/C HF 146 UF rate 20ml/kg/hr survival significantly lower in this group compared to the others 139 UF rate 35ml/kg/hr p= UF rate 45ml/kg/hr p=0.0013

Meta Analysis-8 Studies ( Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 5: , 2010) Intensity of Dialysis result in the following No difference in death rate No difference in outcome based upon APACHE score No difference in renal recovery No difference in outcome based upon weight
