Net ultrafiltration intensity and mortality in critically ill patients with fluid overload

Although net ultrafiltration (UFNET) is frequently used for treatment of fluid overload in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury, the optimal intensity of UFNET is unclear. Among critically ill patients with fluid overload receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT), we examined the association between UFNET intensity and risk-adjusted 1-year mortality. We selected patients with fluid overload ≥ 5% of body weight prior to initiation of...
