AB  - Renal replacement therapies (RRT) for acute renal failure patients consist of 
      continuous or intermittent methods. Continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT) 
      are used in 54% of centers. Determinant for the choice of the continuous versus 
      intermittent method is the clinical status of the patients. Those who are 
      hemodynamically unstable, who receive a large fluid intake, who are anuric, who 
      present with severe and persistent metabolic disorders such as acidosis or 
      hyperkaliemia, and who are in respiratory failure, are preferably treated with 
      CRRT. Once the patient has improved, he can be switched to intermittent RRT 
      (IRRT). Thus CRRT and IRRT are complementary approaches. Dialysis material should 
      be biocompatible; the RRT method used should guarantee stable hemodynamics. 
      Coping with these two requirements reduces the time duration of renal recovery, 
      diminishes the need for catecholamines and may improve the survival rate.
