Survival and Predictors of Mortality in Acute Kidney Injury Patients Treated with Sustained Low Efficiency Dialysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study found similar in-hospital and 30-day mortality for AKI patients treated with SLED. High pre-SLED levels of serum albumin, creatinine and number of SLED were significantly associated with reduced risk of death and high pre-SLED serum potassium was associated with increased risk of death. These results indicate that SLED is safe treatment, with few haemorrhage and haemodynamic complications.
