Liberation from CKRT
Of the 10 patients who survived their CKRT course, 5 had successful liberation from CKRT and did not require KRT within 72 h. Urine output was significantly higher in children who were liberated from CKRT than in those who were not (Figure 4). On D1 after discontinuation of CKRT, median urine output was 2.94 mL/kg/h in children with successful liberation and only 0.22 mL/kg/h in children who were not liberated (p=0.008). Similarly, median urine output was 3.46 mL/kg/h vs 0.11 ml/kg/h on D2 in children who were liberated versus not liberated respectively (p=0.016). However, urine output before CKRT initiation was not associated with successful liberation.
