Early Initiation of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Improves Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Our findings showed that early initiation of CRRT is associated with favorable clinical outcomes in ARDS patients, which might be due to the reduced serum and BALF TGF-β1 levels through CRRT. However, large multi-center studies are needed to make further recommendations as to the optimal use of CRRT in ARDS patient populations.
