Abstract
The management of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically sick patients in the intensive care unit entails the use of renal replacement therapy. There has been considerable experience in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in this setting. Recently there has been increased interest in slow low efficiency dialysis (SLED) to treat these patients. In this review, the technical considerations, clinical and practical advantages of SLED are discussed.
