Net ultrafiltration (UF\n                      <jats:sup>NET<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a cornerstone de-resuscitation strategy; however, tolerance to fluid removal is highly variable and difficult to predict. Ultrafiltration intolerance, encompassing haemodynamic instability, peripheral perfusion deterioration and tissue hypoperfusion during UF\n                      <jats:sup>NET<\/jats:sup>\n                      , lacks a standardised definition and has not been prospectively evaluated using a comprehensive multiparametric monitoring strategy. The Volume removal Intolerance during Net ultrafiltration in acute Kidney injury patients, an Observational study (VINKO) aims to identify clinical, haemodynamic, ultrasound-based, perfusion-related and biochemical factors associated with the development of ultrafiltration intolerance in critically ill patients with AKI undergoing CRRT.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      VINKO is a prospective, multicentre, observational analytical case\u2013control study enrolling adult intensive care unit patients with AKI requiring CRRT with prescribed UF\n                      <jats:sup>NET<\/jats:sup>\n                      .

Serial assessments include macrohaemodynamic variables, dynamic functional tests (passive leg raising and sitting manoeuvre), focused echocardiography, venous congestion assessment using the Venous Excess Ultrasound protocol, peripheral perfusion markers (capillary refill time, mottling score and peripheral perfusion index) and biochemical markers including lactate, albumin, ionised calcium and B-type natriuretic peptide\/N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide when available.
