title: Principles of renal replacement therapy in children.
abstract: Much has changed in pediatric renal replacement therapy during the past decade. Even the smallest critically ill patients can be temporarily supported, and chronic peritoneal and hemodialysis in young children has become routine. Although improved technical capabilities often may raise difficult ethical dilemmas, the health care team must know that such therapeutic modalities are available for the pediatric patient.
