BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common issue in intensive care units and is a potentially lethal consequence of severe burns. In severely burned patients with non-renal indications, renal replacement treatment is frequently used. This study's aim was to compile a 10-year summary of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) experience at a single burn center, including patient outcomes, effectiveness, and potential complications in the context of severe burns.

Aim: This paper presents a review of different solutions for deep burn wound healing in children and the early outcomes of treatment with combined autologous cell culture technique.
Material And Methods: For this study, 20 children aged between 4 and 12 years with 55-65% of TBSA III grade burn injury were analyzed.
Unlabelled: The skin is the largest organ of the human body consisting of several layers possessing different properties and performing different physiological functions. The loss of skin integrity caused by a trauma or disease may provoke acute physiological and immune disorders that may even be fatal. The following properties are primarily taken into account when choosing the appropriate burn wound dressing: support of the epithelialisation process, pain and patient discomfort reduction, and treatment costs.
