title: Continuous renal replacement therapies in the acute renal failure setting: current concepts.
abstract: Several new methods of renal replacement therapy are now available for the treatment of acute renal failure in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Continuous dialysis techniques have evolved over the last decade and are now increasingly used in the ICU. This review provides a framework for the evaluation of these therapies and discusses the emerging indications for their use.
