Effects of continuous renal replacement therapy on inflammation-related anemia, iron metabolism and prognosis in sepsis patients with acute kidney injury

BACKGROUND: This study aims to evaluate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on inflammation-related anemia, iron metabolism, and the prognosis in sepsis patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). CONCLUSION: CRRT might have beneficial effects on the improvement in inflammation-related iron metabolism and disease severity during the first week of ICU admission but not anemia and 28-day mortality in sepsis patients with AKI.
