Comparative StudyA retrospective study of continuous renal replacement therapy versus intermittent hemodialysis in severe acute renal failure.
To investigate the efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) versus intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) in patients with severe acute renal failure (ARF). ⋯ CRRT perhaps may be the best choice in the treatment of severe ARF patients, for it can offer several distinct advantages compared to IHD. These may contribute to improving the survival rate of ARF patients, particularly those that are critically ill patients.
