Critical Care Nephrology and Renal Replacement Therapy in Children

Abstract

This chapter reviews the mechanisms and impact of fluid overload, indications for renal replacement therapy, and factors considered in the timing of initiation in critically ill pediatric patients. Recent literature focused on the timing of initiation of CRRT to treat fluid overload is reviewed as well as the use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients, peritoneal dialysis after cardiac surgery, and ultrafiltration during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and during cardiopulmonary bypass.
