Several studies have indicated that an intensive continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) dose has no benefit over a standard CRRT dose. However, treatment-related factors may have influenced these findings. In this article, Macedo et al. discuss the assumption that delivered dialysis dose is equivalent to the effluent volume and highlight the importance of assessing filter efficacy and dose parameters in patients receiving CRRT.
