Common questions
What does Renal Replacement Therapy Initiation Indication (CRRT/RRT) do?
Use to identify emergent RRT indications and to choose between continuous (CRRT) and intermittent (IHD) modalities based on hemodynamics.
How is the result calculated?
Any emergent indication (refractory hyperkalemia, severe acidosis pH < 7.1, refractory volume overload, uremic complications/severe azotemia, dialyzable poisoning) initiates RRT; without these, decide early vs late by trends. CRRT preferred when hemodynamically unstable/brain-injured.
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
