Treatment Efficacy of Continuous Renal Replacement on Symptoms, Inflammatory Mediators, and Coagulation Function in Patients with Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury.

INTRODUCTION

The aim of this study is to compare the treatment efficacy between continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and conventional intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) in patients with sepsis (SIRS) combined with acute kidney injury (AKI) and its impact on inflammatory mediators and coagulation function.

METHOD

122 patients (25-60 years) with SIRS combined with AKI were enrolled in the sudy. The study group (SG) comprised 62 patients who received CRRT (8-10 h/day) + routine treatment, whereas the control group (CG) comprised 60 patients who received conventional IHD (4 h/day, 3 times per week) + routine treatment. inflammatory mediators and coagulation function measures were assessed and compared in each group.

RESULTS

C-reactive protein, blood creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, blood lactic acid, oxygenation index, central venous oxygen saturation, SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score, interleukin 6, interleukin 8, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, FIB, and platelet count were better in the SG than in the CG ( < 0.05). The 12- and 24-month survival rates were significantly higher in the SG than in the CG ( < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

CRRT can effectively improve clinical symptoms, remove inflammatory factors, and maintain blood coagulation function in patients with SIRS combined with AKI. It is more efficient than IHD treatment and is worthy of clinical promotion.
