CRRT Dosing Calculator
Calculate desired dose of dialysate in CRRT
Enter desired dose in mL/kg/hr <br /> Target effluent dose is generally considered to be 20-25 mL/kg/hr
Dosage in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has been assessed in multiple randomized controlled trials and two meta-analyses. Results from these studies indicate that higher intensity dialysis did not result in improved survival or clinical benefits.
The 2012 KDIGO guideline recommends delivering an effluent volume of 20 to 25 mL/kg per hour. It also notes that this generally requires prescription of a higher effluent volume to achieve the targeted dose of therapy.
