title: Treatment by continuous renal replacement therapy in patients with burn injuries.
abstract: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a relatively new therapeutic procedure which helps in the treatment of critically ill patients with renal failure as well as those without renal failure. CRRT effectively removes urea and creatinine and maintains a balanced milieu interleur and water balance. A role in the elimination of pro-inflammatory cytokines is also ascribed to this method. Most frequently venovenous haemofiltration and venovenous haemodiafiltration are used. The authors present their experience with the CRRT treatment of 40 patients in the Burn Centre Ostrava and with the results attained.
