Treatment with higher-intensity continuous renal-replacement therapy did not reduce mortality at 90 days.Related Articles:

No differences between intensified and standard treatment were seen for survival by Day 14 or for renal recovery amongst the survivors by Day 28. These results support the findings of other recent studies which suggest that increasing dialysis dose in the ICU has limited clinical efficacy.
