Introduction: This is a phenomenologically designed qualitative study conducted to explore and conceptualize the problems experienced by intensive care nurses caring for patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy.
Methods: Face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, then thematic analysis was conducted.
Results: The study was conducted 12 intensive care nurses. As a result, 3 main and 6 sub-themes were identified. The themes identified were changing routines, uncertainty in terms of patient benefit, and need for adaptation.
Conclusion: It was found that nurses experienced challenges in providing care to patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy, spent more effort to prevent complications, and lacked information on the subject. It is recommended to consider institutional and individual actions to meet the educational needs of nurses for implementing continuous renal replacement therapy.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) carries the highest population attributable risk for mortality among all comorbidities in chronic heart failure (CHF). No studies about the association between inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and all-cause mortality in patients with the comorbidity of CKD and CHF has been published.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1327 patients with CHF and CKD were included.
Kidney REPLACEment therapies in patients with acute kidney injury and RHABDOmyolysis (ReplaceRhabdo): a pilot trial.
BMC Nephrol

Medical Department III, Division of Nephrology, University Hospital Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany.
Background: Rhabdomyolysis is frequently associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). Due to the nephrotoxic properties of myoglobin, its rapid removal is relevant. If kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is necessary for AKI, a procedure with effective myoglobin elimination should be preferred.

In Germany, around 80000 people are currently dependent on permanent renal replacement therapy (RRT). Due to demographic developments and improvements in life expectancy, the prevalence will continue to increase even if the effects of newer pharmacological substances such as SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists are promising in inhibiting progression. There are basically three different methods of renal replacement therapy and their variants: Kidney transplantation (KTX), peritoneal dialysis (PD), hemodialysis (HD)/hemodiafiltration (HDF).

This paper conducted a bibliometric study on PTDM related literature to explore the risk factors of diabetes after kidney transplantation, as well as the current status, hotspots and development trends of PTDM research, so as to provide reference for researchers in related fields.
Methods: We searched the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database for PTDM literature from January 1, 1990, to August 20, 2023, and used VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package 'bibliometrix' to do bibliometric analysis.
Early and high-volume administration of sodium bicarbonate in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury in patients with malignancies, during continuous renal replacement therapy.

Introduction: Sepsis is an uncontrolled systemic response to infection that leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction. The in-hospital mortality rate remains significantly high in septic shock patients with malignancies. This study investigates whether early and high-volume administration of sodium bicarbonate during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can reduce 28-day mortality, increase shock reversal rates, and shorten the duration of CRRT, mechanical ventilation, and intensive care unit (ICU) stays.
