Summary

This trial aims to study the effect of combining continuous and a new polyamide membrane with larger pores in the treatment of critically ill patients with acute renal failure and low blood pressure (shock) requiring noradrenaline. The investigators wish to compare the clinical effect of this new therapy to that of haemofiltration with a standard membrane.

Conditions

  • Kidney Failure, Acute
  • Shock

Interventions

DEVICE

Standard polyamide high flux membrane

Standard haemofiltration; CVVH; blood flow 200 ml/min, ultrafiltrate 25 ml/kg/hr, anticoagulation as clinically indicated, bicarbonate buffered replacement fluid

DEVICE

High cut-off (super high flux) polyamide membrane

CVVH with standard haemofiltration settings; blood flow 200 ml/min, ultrafiltrate 25 ml/kg/hour, anticoagulation as clinically indicated, bicarbonate-buffered replacement fluid
