Abstract
A prospective study of 12 critically ill patients admitted to the ICU of the Austin and Repatriation Medical Center with multi-organ failure (MOF) and acute renal failure (ARF) was conducted. All of the patients required continuous venovenous haemofiltration (CVVH) for renal replacement therapy. The results indicate that pre-dilution CVVH with neither anticoagulation nor saline flush in critically ill patients at high bleeding risk is a safe and practical approach.
