Brief Summary

Septic patients with acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT) present high mortality due to systemic inflammatory response, cytokine liberation, and finally multiorgan dysfunction. Cytokine plasmatic elimination with continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) presents frequent complications, known as "dialytrauma", and a high resource cost both technical and human. The study primary end-point is to demonstrate a longer filter life with the use of continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) respect to CVVH, both modalities employing the same adsorption capacity membrane. As secondary end-points investigators will try to demonstrate less dialytrauma events of CVVHD respect to CVVH. In order to achieve these objectives investigators have designed a proof of concept exploratory trial that will include those patients whom present SA-AKI meeting CRRT initiation criteria. During the first 72 hours investigators will measure plasmatic elimination capacity of main cytokines, and other clinical and prognostic relevant molecules. Investigators will also measure hemodynamic, respiratory, and metabolic parameters. Adverse effects related to CRRT ("dialytrauma") will also be registrated. Finally, investigators will analyze 90 days survival. Demonstration of a minor complication rate (longer filter patency with less dialytrauma events) with a similar immunomodulating capacity and with its consequent lower cost, should settle the based evidence principles that recommend the use of CVVHD asociated to an adsorption capacity membrane in patients with SA-AKI whom need CRRT.

Study Arms (2)

CVVHD-ST150

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with sepsis whom present AKI meeting CRRT initiation criteria will be started on CVVHD with PrismafleX eXeed™ II (Hospal) using an ST150SET copolymer of acrylonitrile and sodium methylsulfonate (AN 69) with polyethylenimine treated surface. Anticoagulation of the ST150 set with unfractioned heparin will only be initiated if there´s no clinical contraindication. ST150 set will be changed when clotted and every 24 hours during the first 72 hours of CVVHD. No citrate anticoagulation will be used.

Other: CVVHD

CVVH-ST150

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients with sepsis whom present AKI meeting CRRT initiation criteria will be started on CVVH with PrismafleX eXeed™ II (Hospal) using an ST150SET copolymer of acrylonitrile and sodium methylsulfonate (AN 69) with polyethylenimine treated surface. Anticoagulation of the ST150 set with unfractioned heparin will only be initiated if there´s no clinical contraindication. ST150 set will be changed when clotted and every 24 hours during the first 72 hours of CVVH. No citrate anticoagulation will be used.

Other: CVVH

Interventions

CVVHDOTHER

CVVHD will be used during 72 hours with a prescribed dose of 30 ml/Kg/h Prismasol® 4 as dialysate fluid. Blood flow of 200-250 ml/min, to achieve 12 - 15 L/h will be prescribed. Isovolemic CRRT will be encouraged during this 72 hours if volume overload status is not present. After 72 hours, CVVHD will be continued and dialysate dose (ml/kg/h) will be adjusted to achieve creatinine levels between 80-120 umol/L until patient recovers urine output and / or tolerates intermittent hemodialysis.

Also known as: Continuous venovenous hemodialysis
CVVHD-ST150
CVVHOTHER

CVVH will be used during 72 hours with a prescribed dose of 30 ml/Kg/h Prismasol® 4 as reposition fluid. Blood flow of 200-250 ml/min, to achieve 12 - 15 L/h will be prescribed adjusting the adequate percentage of prefilter reinfusion to maintain a theorical filtration fraction between 18-22%. Isovolemic CRRT will be encouraged if volume overload status is not present. After 72 hours, CVVH will be continued and filtration dose (ml/kg/h) will be adjusted to achieve creatinine levels between 80-120 umol/L until patient recovers urine output and / or tolerates intermittent hemodialysis.
