    AbstractFortunately with improvements in initial medical resuscitation, such as the avoidance of nephrotoxins, the incidence of acute kidney injury requiring renal support in patients with acute traumatic brain injury remains low. However the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage in patients on chronic dialysis programs appears to be increasing. By carefully adapting renal replacement to minimize cardiovascular instability and reduce the rate of change of serum osmolality, patient survival in this group of critically ill patients is increasing and starting to approach that of patients with traumatic brain injury without kidney injury.
