AKI leads to extended hospital stays, increases mortality rates, and often necessitates nephrology consultations. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) plays a central role in managing AKI, requiring a multidisciplinary approach involving nephrologists, intensivists, and anesthesiologists. This study examines the clinical profile and progression of AKI in ICU patients requiring CRRT, with a focus on CRRT indications and modalities. Materials and Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective observational study on ICU patients with AKI requiring CRRT from January to December 2019. AKI diagnosis followed the RIFLE criteria, and patients who received CRRT for less than 36 h were excluded. Data collected included demographics, hemodynamic parameters, and renal function parameters, with follow-ups at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months. Statistical analyses evaluated outcomes and transitions between CRRT and other renal replacement therapies. Results: Among 123 evaluated patients, 95 met inclusion criteria. Fifteen patients received CRRT for less than 36 h, with an early mortality rate of 80%. The final cohort comprised 80 patients who underwent CRRT for over 36 h, with a mean age of 65.3 years (SD = 13.6) and a Charlson index of 6.4. Patients were categorized based on primary diagnosis into heart failure, cardiac surgery, sepsis, other surgeries, and miscellanea groups. Mortality rates were highest in the heart failure and miscellanea groups. Significant variability was observed in therapy transitions and long-term outcomes. Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) was the most frequently used CRRT modality. Conclusions: This study highlights the variability in CRRT practices and the poor prognosis for critically ill patients with AKI requiring CRRT. Timely nephrology consultation and tailored treatment plans may improve patient outcomes and optimize CRRT utilization. Future research should focus on refining CRRT protocols and exploring preventive strategies for AKI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13175085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]],"date-time":"2024-08-27T09:26:51Z","timestamp":1724750811000},"page":"5085","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Transitions and Long-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients Admitted in Intensive Care Units Receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Valdenebro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Majadahonda, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2114-1385","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose","family":"Portoles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Majadahonda, Spain"},{"name":"Medicine Department, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Luisa","family":"Serrano Salazar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Majadahonda, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Mu\u00f1oz S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Majadahonda, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ines","family":"Alameda-Aguado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine Department, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leyre","family":"Mart\u00edn Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Majadahonda, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felipe","family":"Zalamea-Jarrin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Majadahonda, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4332-5759","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula","family":"L\u00f3pez-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, 28222 Majadahonda, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Waikar, S.S., Murray, P.T., and Singh, A.K.
