Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has become a standard adjuvant therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU). Apart from commonly accepted indications, such as acute kidney injury (AKI) of different origins, hemodynamic instability without AKI and fluid overload, CRRT can act as a ‘supportive’ therapy that allows adequate dosing of antimicrobials whilst limiting some or all of their known toxicities. In particular, CRRT may elegantly reconcile optimal treatment efficacy and safety when high doses of antimicrobial agents have to be administered for an extended time period [1, 2]. In this chapter, we briefly review the literature and share our own experience regarding some antibiotics and antifungals when this ‘novel’ CRRT approach is realized.
