Continuous venovenous hemofiltration using customized replacement fluid for acute kidney injury with severe hypernatremia

We present a case of AKI with severe hypernatremia successfully treated with CRRT using commercial RF solutions customized to prevent rapid correction of hypernatremia. None of the few case reports published on hypernatremia and AKI requiring CRRT have included formulas to help modulate the sodium content in the solutions. We present an equation to facilitate adjustment of the sodium concentration in this setting.
