(en) Routine use of prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT) in New Zealand and Canada is long established. According to Clark et al., it is a cost-effective technique when compared to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and safely provides RRT for hemodynamically unstable patients. However, outcomes from other studies concerning hemodynamic stability tend to differ. Sustained low efficiency dialysis (SLED) (A form of PIRRT) is an effective treatment for acute kidney injury (AKI). [...]
