Core Principles of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) Scope: CRRT modalities (CVVH, CVVHD, CVVHDF), key terms (blood flow rate, dialysate rate, effluent rate, ultrafiltration rate), and core mechanisms (diffusion vs. convection) Overview: What Is CRRT? Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is a form of dialysis used in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly those who are hemodynamically unstable. It provides slow and continuous removal of solutes and fluid over 24 hours, helping maintain acid-base, fluid, and electrolyte balance. CRRT Modalities Modality Solute Removal Mechanism

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Basics - Components, Types, Parameters 1. What Is CRRT? Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) refers to a group of dialysis modalities used primarily in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) who are hemodynamically unstable or require slow, continuous fluid and solute removal. CRRT mimics the natural kidney’s continuous function over 24 hours, unlike intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), which occurs over hours. 2. Why Use CRRT in the ICU? Hemodynamic instability: Slower removal of fluids and solutes avoids hypotension. Volume overloaded patients: Allows fine control of fluid balance (e.g., in ARDS). Cerebral edema patients: Gradual solute shifts reduce risk of intracranial pressure increases. Severe AKI with multi-organ dysfunction.

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT): 30 Beginner (Q1–Q10) Q1. A 63-year-old man with septic shock from pneumonia is in the ICU on norepinephrine 0.16 μg/kg/min and vasopressin 0.03 U/min after receiving 30 mL/kg of balanced crystalloids and appropriate antibiotics. Over the past 16 hours his urine output has been 40 mL total. Labs show K⁺ 7.0 mmol/L, HCO₃⁻ 12 mmol/L, BUN 76 mg/dL, creatinine 4.1 mg/dL (baseline 1.0), pH 7.19, lactate 3.2 mmol/L. ECG reveals wide-complex morphology with peaked T waves. You temporize with IV calcium, insulin/dextrose, and inhaled albuterol, but potassium rebounds within an hour. The team debates CRRT given ongoing pressor requirement and labile MAPs. Which is the most appropriate indication for immediate RRT in this patient? A. Refractory volume overload despite diuretics B. Severe hyperkalemia with ECG changes C. Serum creatinine >4 mg/dL D. Uremic pruritus Answer: B. Severe hyperkalemia with ECG changes

Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodialysis CVVHD What Is CVVHD Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodialysis CVVHD is a type of continuous renal replacement therapy CRRT that removes solutes primarily through diffusion using dialysate flowing across a semipermeable membrane. It provides continuous clearance of small solutes and fluid in critically ill patients, especially those with hemodynamic instability. Core Concept CVVHD removes waste by allowing solutes to move from blood into dialysate down a concentration gradient. CVVHD = solutes move across a membrane from high concentration to low concentration. This mimics traditional hemodialysis but occurs continuously.
