It utilises a semi-permeable membrane known as a filter to allow water and certain molecules to pass through the membrane as filtrate, while larger molecules remain behind within the blood.

Increased clotting of CRRT hemofilter leads to reduced time on CRRT and blood loss, worsening the anemia of critical illness and increasing need for blood transfusion.7,8 However, it is unknown if COVID-19 patients with AKI requiring CRRT have increased clotting of CRRT hemofilter compared to patients with septic shock with AKI requiring . 2006, 10: 222-10.1186/cc4975.

Therefore, clinicians search for alternatives such as CRRT without anticoagulation [3538], increasing natural anticoagulants, minimal systemic anticoagulation, or regional anticoagulation. 2006, 76: 681-689.

In a non-randomized study in patients on CRRT, AT deficiency (less than 60%) was associated with early filter clotting, whereas supplementation increased circuit life [41]. Filter size may play a role and larger surfaces may be of relevance for filter survival and solute clearance when CVVHD is applied. Because the citrate patients often had a higher risk of bleeding, groups are generally not comparable. 10.1093/ndt/gfg488.

However, a prospective survey in children on 442 CRRT circuits (heparin and citrate) could not find a correlation between circuit survival and CRRT mode (CVVH, CVVHD, or CVVHDF) [24].

Such early artificial kidney failures are typically related to two processes: circuit clotting and membrane clogging.
