Introduction and aim Acute kidney injury (AKI) is part of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in critically ill patients a common condition intensive care units (ICUs). Renal replacement therapy (RRT) cornerstone treatment for AKI patients. This patient population has high mortality rate despite RRT. There are two methods RRT ICUs: intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) continuous renal (CRRT). Both CRRT IHD similarly provide adequate metabolic control. We aimed to compare these modalities...
