NCT00537693

Brief Summary

This pilot study will compare the effect of diffusive versus convective Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) in children with sepsis who require CRRT. The hypothesis for the study is that convective forms of CRRT provide enhanced clearance of cytokines and improved clinical responses as compared to a diffusive CRRT modality.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • A 25% additional decrease in IL-6 concentration change

    The First 24 hours of CRRT

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Other cytokine removal rates

    First 24 hours of CRRT

  • Cytokine absorption on the CRRT membrane

    First 24 hours of CRRT

  • Hemodynamic parameters

    First 24 hours of CRRT
