Short and incremental dialysis: “soft is best”. Good RRF (*): urine output arbitrarily defined as at least 750 mL/day, according to body surface. Survival advantage is reported for residual diuresis >250 mL/day [130,131,132]. No significant RRF (**): arbitrarily defined as urine output less than 500 mL. RRF measure: creatinine clearance or average urea and creatinine clearance (clearance 6–10 mL/min: 1 session; 3–6 mL/min: 2 sessions, modulated upon weight gain, BUN, Ca-Ph-PTH, acidosis, nutritional status, tolerance, life expectancy).
