Short-Term Renal Replacement Therapy Outcomes of Critically Ill Patients of Acute Kidney Injury and Acute on Chronic Kidney Disease.

Background And Aims: Sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED) is a cost-effective alternative to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, in addition to intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) as a mode of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in such patients. This single-center, prospective, observational study aimed to assess the short-term outcomes of SLED and IHD in such patients.

Methodology: Adult (>18 years) patients with AKI requiring dialysis were included from different ICUs of a tertiary care center.
