SC sieving coefficient, SE standard error, CI confidence interval, UD undetected

aSC was calculated as CeffCpl, where Ceff is effluent concentration and Cpl is plasma concentration

bDaily loss (mg) was calculated by Cpl × SC × effluent volume per 24 h

cStandardized daily loss (mg) was estimated for CRRT dose 25 mL/kg/h for 24 h
