Core Tip

Core Tip: Septic shock results in multiple organ failure and is associated with a high mortality rate, and patients with septic acute kidney injury (AKI) have an even greater risk of mortality. We report the successful treatment of a patient with gastrointestinal septic AKI using continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with an oXiris® hemofilter. These results suggest that early use of the oXiris® hemofilter with CCRT may be useful for other patients with gastrointestinal septic AKI.
