A2 - Loscalzo, Joseph Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 20e AB - Dialysis may be required for the treatment of either acute or chronic kidney disease (CKD). The use of continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT) and prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT)/slow low-efficiency dialysis (SLED) is specific to the management of acute renal failure and is discussed in Chap. 304. These modalities are performed continuously (CRRT) or over 6–12 h per session (PIRRT/SLED), in contrast to the 3–4 h of an intermittent hemodialysis session. Advantages and disadvantages of CRRT and PIRRT/SLED are discussed in Chap. 304.
