AbstractContinuous and intermittent renal replacement therapies are thought to be equally adequate approaches for the treatment of patients with acute kidney injury. Accordingly, current guidelines advocate the use of different modalities in a complementary fashion, i.e., to tailor therapy to the specific clinical situation. In patients with hemodynamic instability or at risk of cerebral edema, continuous renal replacement therapy or prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy should, however, be preferred. Intermittent hemodialysis, on the other hand, remains the therapy of choice for the rapid correction of life-threatening electrolyte abnormalities or metabolic acidosis. During the further course of treatment, an individualized approach should be continued which may include a switch between modalities based on current therapeutic goals and potential risks for side effects of renal replacement therapy.
