Outcomes among Patients Treated with Renal Replacement Therapy during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Single-Center Retrospective Study

Abstract

Use of CRRT is prevalent among patients undergoing ECMO, with over 50% of our patient population receiving combination therapy. Fluid balance appears to be an important variable associated with outcomes in this cohort. Rates of renal recovery and overall survival were higher compared to previously published reports among those requiring combined ECMO/CRRT.
