ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In critically ill patients, sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED) has become a viable option for treating acute kidney injury (AKI) instead of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes in critically ill patients receiving SLED. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
In our ICU, we performed a retrospective cohort study on hemodynamically unstable patients requiring dialysis in the form of SLED. Demographics, clinical, and biochemical variables were analyzed.RESULTS:
A total of 58 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 48.58 ± 15 with a male-to-female ratio of 31. Higher APACHE II score, high international normalized ratio, thrombocytopenia, and septic shock were found to be poor prognostic markers, with an overall observed mortality of 56.9%.CONCLUSION:
SLED can be considered as an alternative to CCRT for selected hemodynamically unstable patients requiring renal replacement therapy.
