A randomized clinical trial of high volume peritoneal dialysis versus extended daily hemodialysis for acute kidney injury patients
(2013-06-01)
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis in critically ill patients is associated with an in-hospital mortality rate of 50-80 %. Extended daily hemodialysis (EHD) and high volume peritoneal dialysis (HVPD) ...

Can Delivery Dialysis Dose Affect Survival of Acute Kidney Injury Patients?
(Informa Healthcare, 2012-01-01)
Intensity of dialysis dose in acute kidney injury (AKI) might benefit critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) dose on mortality in patients with AKI. ...
