LOINC long common name : Continuous renal replacement therapy panel;
LOINC short name : CRRT panel;
LOINC description : This panel includes terms to report results related to continuous renal replacement
therapy, including parameters related to the pressures, volumes and rates of various
components in the dialysis circuit, information about the patient's dialysis access,
and lab results. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is typically prescribed
for critically ill patients and runs continuously for 24 hours/day. This is in contrast
to intermittent hemodialysis, which is typically performed three times a week for
several hours. CRRT may be used to remove solutes, fluid, or both. It is commonly
prescribed for patients with acute renal failure and is also used to treat patients
with septic shock.[PMID: 18360553];
