Successful Liberation from Acute Kidney Replacement Therapy in Critically Ill Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: Recovery of kidney function to liberate patients from acute kidney replacement therapy (AKRT) is recognized as a vital patient-centered outcome. The lack of specific guidelines providing specific recommendations on therapy interruption is an important obstacle. We aimed to determine the prevalence of successful discontinuation of AKRT and its predictive factors after the elaboration of clinical protocol with these recommendations.

Factors predicting successful discontinuation of acute kidney replacement therapy: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Treatment for severe acute kidney injury (AKI) typically involves the use of acute kidney replacement therapy (AKRT) to prevent or reverse complications.

Methodology: We aimed to determine the prevalence of successful discontinuation of AKRT and its predictive factors. A retrospective cohort study was performed with 316 patients hospitalized at a public Brazilian university hospital between January 2011 and June 2020.
