Image 2/ Assessment of RRT dose in AKI

🤨Critical and AKI patients have characteristics that make RRT dose assessment challenging

✔️Constant change in volume status
✔️Unsteady metabolic state (catabolism, nutrition, inflammation)

Conventional Hemodialisis (HD)and continuous therapies (CRRT) both have blood pumps, filters, use catheters and are used in renal failure

But they are completely different treatments

Wonder Why? 👇🧵 get your calculator 2/ First we have to remember the concept of:

CLEARANCE (K)=Ratio of mass removal rate (N) to blood solute concentration (CB)

K= N/CB

✅ Practical definition: Volume of plasma completely cleaned from (X)

for this tweetorial (X) represent small molecules 40-100 daltons
