Study Overview
Brief Summary
High volume hemodiafiltration (HVHDF) has been used in septic patients to get hemodynamic improvement and possibly survival benefit.
Detailed Description
Sepsis, defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated immune response to infection. Hemofiltration has been suggested as beneficial in restoring immune homeostasis. High volume hemodiafiltration (HVHDF) is a hybrid method of intermittent renal replacement therapy (RRT), where high filtration volumes are applied. In several studies; higher filtration volumes have been shown to achieve hemodynamic improvement and possibly survival benefit in patients with septic shock.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
