Effect of early continuous renal replacement therapy on patients with severe sepsis / 中国中西医结合急救杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of early continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)on patients with acute kidney injury(AKI)induced by severe sepsis. Methods A prospective study was conducted. 160 patients with AKI induced by severe sepsis admitted to intensive care unit(ICU)of Qingyuan People's Hospital between October 2009 and June 2013 were enrolled. According to the starting time of CRRT,the patients were randomly divided into two groupsan earl y treatment group and a regular treatment group(each,80 cases). All patients were treated in accordance with the principle of the cluster of severe sepsis. In early treatment group,the patents began to receive CRRT when the amount of urine output was0.05). Early treatment group and regular treatment groups of creatinine recovery time were similar(day5.1±1.3 vs. 5.2±1.2). 28-day survival rate in early treatment group was higher than that in regular treatment group(41.2%vs. 35.0%),but there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05). Conclusion It is found that there is no evidence to suggest that early CRRT may improve the prognosis of the patients with AKI induced by severe sepsis,but it may be in favor of shortening the time of urine recovery,length of stay in ICU,length of organ support and length of dialysis.
