CRRT does not appear to increase survival compared to intermittent renal replacement therapy (IRRT), but may affect renal recovery [ 1, 2 ].

It may be more rational to adjust the filtration fraction to the patient's Ht because blood viscosity in the filter is the limiting factor. 2004, 18: 159-174. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) exhibit several advantages, including lower incidence of HIT [48], lower AT affinity, less platelet and polymorphonuclear cell activation, less inactivation by platelet factor-4 (PF-4), higher and more constant bioavailability, and lack of metabolic side effects [47, 49, 50]. Clogging is detected by declining sieving coefficients of larger molecules and increasing transmembrane pressures.

Citrate is partially removed by convection or diffusion and partially enters the systemic circulation, where iCa rises again due to the dilution of extracorporeal blood, the liberation of chelated calcium when citrate is metabolized, and the replacement of calcium.
