GONZALEZ-SOLER, Juan Basilio et al. Continuous renal replacement therapy. Case report. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.6, pp. 1747-1758.  Epub Dec 31, 2021. ISSN 1684-1824.

Acute kidney failure is defined as the loss of kidney function caused by various causes, including infection and drug intake. This entity has high morbidity and mortality in critical care units. Treatment ranges from renal protection to artificial replacement of the functions of the injured kidney. Currently, continuous renal replacement therapy has been used as renal support, and offers greater clinical stability to the most unstable patients. In this review, authors discuss concepts, indications and the most recent studies that validate the use of this therapeutic, as well as the programming method that was used in a patient with diagnosis of icteric-hemorrhagic leptospirosis (Weil syndrome), who was in septic shock with multiorgan dysfunction, where this therapy was used with satisfactory results.

Keywords : acute renal failure; continuous renal replacement therapy; sepsis; Weil syndrome; continuous venous hemofiltration.
