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.
