Background

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has become one of the most relevant therapies for acute kidney injury and critical patients. Since the beginning there has been controversy about delivering, measuring, and defining ideal dose. Measuring effluent volume related to body weight has been the method of choice for the last years. It’s well known that prescribed dose and delivered dose differ significantly, mainly because of down time, the effect of pre-dilution replacement, and the dialyzer capacity to saturate the effluent. Current practice recommends prescribing 25% more dose to achieve the desired goal. A tool that could account for the three main factors that lower the dose and could predict de delivered dose, could be of great help for the daily prescription of CRRT. The objective of this study is to validate the results of the proposed model in our Institution.

Methods

We developed an app-based model programed in Xcode® for IOS, with a prescription step method, and patient based format, that considers: down time, pre-dilution replacement, and effluent saturation. The model is given a desired therapy, and then calculates the simulated delivered dose. For validation we evaluated since March 2019, 5 treatments of CRRT in CVVHDF mode, and run 15 dose evaluations by measuring simultaneously: BUN pre-filter pre-dilution, BUN pre-filter post-dilution, and UN of the effluent solution. We then compared the delivered dose with the results of the predictive model.

Results

We found good correlation compared to the delivered dose. We conducted a Pearson correlation that showed: r =0.91, 95% CI= (0.74 - 0.97), R2=0.82, and a P value of <0.0001. To evaluate agreement we conducted a Bland Altman plot we demonstrated that 100% of results where between the 11% error: (Bias= -2, SD of Bias 4.2,95% Limits of agreement (-11– 5.5).

Conclusion

Even though the sample was small, the delivered dose predictor computes accurate results as compared to the delivered dose. The App based tool can help predict de delivered dose given to a patient, it can be of great utility to simulate different therapies with different prescriptions, and compare different results. At present more patients and treatments are being continuously evaluated to strengthen even further the results.
