Abstract
Renal replacement therapy is frequently used in the intensive care unit, primarily for the management of acute kidney injury, but it is also indicated for removal of some toxins and medications. Additionally, patients with dialysis-dependent chronic kidney failure who are admitted to the intensive care unit require their therapy to be continued. This chapter reviews the mechanisms by which renal replacement therapy operates and the types of replacement therapies that are available. Access for renal replacement and anticoagulation are also discussed.
