g CUF (3rd Quartile,Q3). Higher volume removed by CUF was associated with worsening AKI. (B) Kaplan-Meier curve of 30-day survival, stratifying AKI patients that died by Youden criterion CUF volume (orange line, ≥32.9mL/kg removed, n=7; red line, <32.9ml/kg, n=15). Four patients died in the non-AKI group (blue line). Although patients with AKI had increased 30-day mortality, the relationship between mortality and CUF volume was unclear based on our results.
