Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to review the evidence surrounding the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the intensive care unit setting. It examines the conventional indications for emergency RRT and assesses the emerging evidence for both earlier commencement of RRT and the expanded role of RRT in the management of sepsis and the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
