Does CRRT Improve Renal Recovery and Outcomes?UK Kidney Research Keynote Lecture Patrick D Brophy, MD, MHCDS Director Pediatric Nephrology Professor The University of Iowa London 2015
Many questions remain unanswered • What therapy should we use? • When should we start it? • What are we trying to achieve? • How much therapy is enough? • When do we stop/switch? • Can we improve outcomes? • Throughout the conference these are the basic questions we have tried to address!
Overview • Impact of Acute Kidney Injury in the PICU • Therapies Comparison in brief • IRRT, CRRT & Hybrid therapies -SLEDD • Solute clearance with IRRT v CRRT v SLEDD • Dose-outcome relationships & IRRT v CRRT • Summary & thoughts
Pediatric AKI: Definition Past: So many definitions…. Risk Injury Failure End-Stage Kidney Disease (RIFLE) Pediatric RIFLE (pRIFLE) Acute Kidney Injury Network definition Crit Care. 2005; 9(5): 523–527

RRT Options • Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis, CRRT, SLEDD • Each has advantages & disadvantages • Choice is guided by • Patient Characteristics • Disease/Symptoms • Hemodynamic stability • Goals of therapy • Fluid removal • Electrolyte correction • Both • Availability, expertise and cost Pediatr Nephrol (2009) 24:37–48
Trends in Pediatric RRT CRRT Increasing 12-US Multicentre ppCRRT Most include Dialysis Warady et al, PediatrNeph 2000, 15:11-3
Why CRRT? • Reduces hemodynamic instability preventing secondary ischemia • Precise Volume control/immediately adaptable • Uremic toxin removal • Effective control of uremia, hypophosphatemia, hyperkalemia • Acid base balance • Rapid control of metabolic acidosis • Electrolyte management • Control of electrolyte imbalances • Allows for improved provision of nutritional support • Management of sepsis/plasma cytokine filter • Safer for patients with head injuries
Indications for Pediatric RRT • Electrolyte (metabolic) imbalance • Uremia with bleeding and or encephalopathy • Acuity/Degree of Kidney Injury • reduction in GFR/elevated creatinine • reduction in urine output • Nutritional support • Intoxications, Inborn errors of Metabolism (IEM) • Fluid Overload (hypervolemia with pulmonary edema/respiratory failure)
Major Renal Replacement Techniques Intermittent Hybrid Continuous IHD Intermittenthaemodialysis SLEDD Sustained (or slow) low efficiency daily dialysis CVVH Continuous veno-venous haemofiltration IUF IsolatedUltrafiltration CVVHD Continuous veno-venous haemodialysis SLEDD-F Sustained (or slow) low efficiency daily dialysis with filtration CVVHDF Continuous veno-venous haemodiafiltration SCUF Slow continuous ultrafiltration
Intradialytic Hypotension:Risk Factors • Age < 5, weight < 10 kg • Pressor requirement, Low Predialysis SBP • Cardiac disease- congenital repairs • Poor nutritional status / hypoalbuminaemia • Uremic neuropathy or autonomic dysfunction • Severe anemia • High volume ultrafiltration requirements
Managing Intra-dialyticHypotension • Dialysate temperature modeling • Low temperature dialysate • Dialysate sodium profiling • Hypertonic Na at start decreasing to 135 by end • Prevents plasma volume decrease • Midodrine if not on pressors • UF profiling • Colloid/crystalloid boluses • Reducing dosing 2005 National Kidney Foundation K/DOQI GUIDELINES
Continuous Therapies - PRO ** Depends on strategy and management
SLED(D) & SLED(D)-F :Hybrid therapy • Conventional dialysis equipment • Online dialysis fluid preparation • Excellent small molecule detoxification • Cardiovascular stability maybe as good as CRRT • Reduced anticoagulation requirement • Decreased costs compared to CRRT? • Phosphate supplementation required like CRRT Fliser, T & Kielstein JT.

Comparison of IHD and CVVH John, S & Eckardt K-U. Seminars in Dialysis 2006; 19: 455-464
RRT for Acute Kidney Injury • There is some evidence for a relationship between higher therapy dose and better outcome, at least up to a point • This is true for IHD* and for CVVH** • There is nodefinitive evidence forsuperiority of one therapy over another, and wide practice variation exists*** • Accepted indications for RTT vary • No definitive evidence on timing of RRT *Schiffl, H et al. NEJM 2002; 346: 305-310 ** Ronco, C et al. Lancet 2000; 355: 26-30 *** Uchino, S. Curr Opin Crit Care 2006; 12: 538-543
Therapy Dose in IRRT p = 0.01 p = 0.001 Schiffl, H et al. NEJM 2002; 346: 305-310
Therapy Dose in CVVH • The “Ronco Study” • Improved survival in all patients with convective clearance of 35mL/kg/hr • Trend towards improved survival in septic patients with convective clearance of 45mL/kg/hr Ronco, C et al. Lancet 2000; 355: 26-30
The “ATN Study” • 1124 adults in the ICU • 563 had intensive therapy • 561 had less-intensive therapy
Intensity of CRRT in Critically Ill Patients (The “RENAL” Study) NEJM 361(17); Oct 2009
Intensity of CRRT in Critically Ill Patients (The “RENAL” Study) NEJM 361(17); Oct 2009
Outcome with IRRT vs CRRT • Trial quality low: many non-randomized • Therapy dosing variable • Illness severity variable or details missing • Small numbers • Uncontrolled technique, membrane • Definitive trial would require 660 patients in each arm! • Unvalidated instrument for sensitivity analysis “there is insufficient evidence to establish whether CRRT is associated with improved survival in critically ill patients with ARF when compared with IRRT” Kellum, J et al. Intensive Care Med 2002; 28: 29-37
Outcome with IRRT vs CRRT • No mortality difference between therapies • No renal recovery difference between therapies • Unselected patient populations • Majority of studies were unpublished Tonelli, M et al. Am J Kidney Dis 2002; 40: 875-885
Outcome with IRRT vs CRRT Vinsonneau, S et al. Lancet 2006; 368: 379-385
Summary • There is some evidence for a relationship between higher therapy dose and better outcome for IHD • There is nodefinitive evidence forbeneficial effects of high dose CRRT despite major attempts to do so • Trials have demonstrated it is difficult to deliver this dose due to unpredictable breaks in treatment-clotting, bag changes, nursing (Vesconi 2009) • Modern IHD approaches may reduce overt hemodynamic instability even in unstable ITU patients • CRRT greater exposure to anticoagulation *Schiffl, H et al. NEJM 2002; 346: 305-310 ** Ronco, C et al. Lancet 2000; 355: 26-30 *** Uchino, S. Curr Opin Crit Care 2006; 12: 538-543
Summary • RCT (Uchino 2009) 3-5% incidence of significant bleeding problems as opposed to 1% with IHD • HIT • Filter downtime up to 8 hours per day due to clotting problems and short filter life • Delayed procedures, tests,surgery • The legion of alternatives used emphasize the problem **citrate looks promising • Costs– although this is variable (Srisawat N et al. Crit Care. (2010))
