NCT00561431

Brief Summary

In the last three decades, the mortality associated with acute renal failure (ARF) in the ICU has remained unchanged at greater than 50%, despite improvements in dialysis technology. The primary objective is to determine whether Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) using an ultrafiltration rate of 35 ml/hr/kg (high dose) leads to a greater reduction in all-cause ICU mortality compared to standard CVVHDF using an ultrafiltration rate of 20 ml/hr/kg.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants Alive at 30 Days After Enrollment Compared Between High Dose Versus Standard Dose Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF)

    The primary objective is to determine whether Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) using an effluent rate of 35 ml/hr/kg (high dose) leads to an increased participant survival time as compared to CVVHDF using the standard effluent rate of 25 ml/hr/kg as measured by days on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) at enrollment up to 30 days.

    Up to 30 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Recovery of Renal Function, Defined as Not Requiring Dialysis After Discontinuation of CRRT

    Up to 30 days
