Brief summary

This is a monocentre randomized pilot study. All patients received two consecutive RRT: CVVHD with MCO filter (Ultraflux® EMiC®2) and post-Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) with HFF(AV1000S®) in a controlled randomized (1:1) blinded manner. Crossover randomized to sequence (A+B or B+A) for 48 h total without washout.

Detailed description

This is a monocentre randomized pilot study. All patients received CVVHD with MCO filter (Ultraflux® EMiC®2) and post-Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) with HFF(AV1000S®) in a controlled randomized (1:1) blinded manner. Crossover randomized to sequence (A+B or B+A) for 48 h total without washout. The efficiency of the filters for small and middle molecules was compared in septic shock patients with AKI stage 3.

Interventions

DEVICEUltraflux® EMiC®2

Ultraflux® EMiC®2-CVVHD runs in septic shock patients with AKI KDIGO 3 for 24 hours. and patients were randomised to start Ultraflux® EMiC®2-CVVHD in the first day or in the second day from the RRT start; more precisely, crossover randomized to sequence consists in Ultraflux® EMiC®2-CVVHD (first day)+ HFF-CVVHDF(second day) and HFF-CVVHDF (first day) + Ultraflux® EMiC®2-CVVHD (second day) for 48 h total without washout
