Randomized trials of acute PD performed in ICU.

Study Ponce 2013 [69] Gabriel 2008 [37] Al-Hwiesh 2018 [38] Ponce 2011 [52] Parapiboon 2017 [53]
High volume PD vs daily EHD High volume PD vs daily HD Tidal APD vs CVVHDF Higher vs lower intensity Intensive vs minimal standard
Number of patients 63 vs 201 60 vs 60 63 vs 62 31 vs 30 41 vs 39
Dosage Weekly Kt/V 3.6 vs 4.1 Weekly Kt/V 3.6 vs 4.7 25 L 70% tidal vs CVVHDF effluent 23 mL/kg/h Weekly Kt/V 4.13 vs 3.0 Weekly Kt/V 3.3 vs 2.26
Ventilated 83.6% vs 86.6% 68% vs 75% 62% vs 69% 68% vs 72% 87% vs 89%
APACHE II score 27.5 vs 26.7 26.9 vs 24.1 22.1 vs 21.3 26.4 vs 24.8 26.9 vs 25.7
Ultrafiltration (L) 0.6 vs 1.4 2.1 vs 2.4 0.95 vs 1.39 2.4 vs 2.1 1.5 vs 0.5 (day 1), 2.1 vs 0.9 (day 2)
Mortality 63.9% vs 63.4% (P = .94) 58% vs 53% (P = .48) 30.2 vs 53.2 (P = .002) 55 vs 53% (P = .42) 79% vs 63% (P = .13)
Limitations Single centre, significantly different baseline characteristics Single centre, patients not surviving 24 h excluded, underpowered for mortality Single centre, adequate effluent rates on CKRT, however creatinine levels remained higher than expected for the dose achieved Single centre Single centre, small body surface area of patients

EHD, extended haemodialysis; CVVHDF, continuous veno-veno haemodiafiltration.
