Renal replacement therapy in acute renal failure

James T. McCarthy

Abstract

The choices regarding renal replacement therapy in acute renal failure have become more complex. The underlying prognosis of the patient should be considered when making the choice of a dialysis treatment. The attending nephrologist must also have a working knowledge of the potential advantages of various dialyzers and continuous renal replacement therapies to maximize the potential for recovery of patients with acute renal failure.
