Managing patients of shock and acute kidney injury in tertiary care cardiac ICU: Experience with continuous renal replacement therapy.

Patients who received one cycle of CRRT showed a trend toward higher mortality (OR: 4.652; 95 % CI, 2.419–8.948) compared to patients who received more than one CRRT cycle ( Table 3 ). 4 Discussion Acute kidney injury due to sepsis, cardiogenic shock, cardiorenal syndrome, low cardiac output, or ischemic injuries is common in cardiac patients (underwent surgery or having CVDs), often making them too unstable for intermittent hemodialysis. 12 , 13 CRRT has become the predominant mode of renal replacement therapy used in caring for critically ill patients with renal failure in medical ICUs worldwide.
