Brief summary

This study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of early continuous renal replacement therapy with standard continuous renal replacement therapy in the presence of acute kidney injury (stage 2 or greater acute kidney injury according to the KDIGO \[The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes\] classification) in patients with advanced cardiogenic shock on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Detailed description

Patients with cardiogenic shock who are placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation devices often have increased afterload due to the retrograde arterial flow of the device, resulting in increased left ventricular filling pressures, and optimal full-load management in these patients may be important to improve prognosis. Previous observational studies have reported that the use of renal replacement therapy for full-load management in patients with cardiogenic shock on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is effective and improves patient survival in cases of severe renal dysfunction when fluid volume reduction is maintained. However, to date, there have been no randomized controlled studies to identify the optimal timing of renal replacement therapy in patients with cardiogenic shock on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Inclusion criteria

* The subject must be at least 19 years of age. * Patients presented with CS (Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions \[SCAI\] Shock classification C, D or E) \* who requiring VA-ECMO. * Classic CS (Stage C) was defined as the following criteria. A. Systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg for more than 30 min or catecholamines required to maintain pressure more than 90 mmHg during systole. B. Sign of pulmonary congestion C. Sign of impaired organ perfusion with at least one of the following: 1. altered mental status. 2. cold, clammy skin and extremities. 3. oliguria with urine output \< 30ml/h. 4. serum lactate \> 2.0 mmol/l. * SCAI Shock classification D is defined as failure to respond to initial interventions with clinical deterioration of classic CS or SCAI Shock classification E is defined as cardiac arrest with ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation requiring VA-ECMO * Patients in the first 48 hours of CS developing AKI with at least one criterion (Characteristic of the stage 2 AKI according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes \[KDIGO\] classification) * A 2-fold or over increase in serum creatinine relative to baseline * A reduction in urine output of ≤0.5 ml/kg/h for ≥ 12 hours

Exclusion criteria
