[Against CRRT: hybrid treatments are gaining ground].
Renal replacement therapies (RRT) are a key component of the therapeutic approach to acute kidney injury in the ICU. They are usually performed as intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) or continuous RRT (CRRT). Each of these therapies has its advantages and disadvantages. The so-called ''hybrid'' therapies have been gaining popularity in recent years. This kind of treatment, known as ''sustained low-efficiency dialysis'' or SLED, has most of the advantages of IHD and CRRT, without sharing their disadvantages and limitations.
