Presented at #LIVES2026: An open-label, randomized, noninferiority trial showed that intermittent hemodialysis was not noninferior to continuous renal-replacement therapy in critically ill adults with acute kidney injury. Full ICRAKI trial results: nej.md/472QMel Editorial: Continuous or Intermittent Renal-Replacement Therapy — What is the Question? nej.md/4egLaB1
A graph from the Original Article "Intermittent or Continuous Renal-Replacement Therapy in Acute Kidney Injury." The trial name, ICRAKI, is in parentheses after the title. The graph shows the cumulative probability of death from randomization through day 90, as estimated with the Kaplan–Meier method. The trial results are being presented at the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine. The logo of the New England Journal of Medicine is at the bottom.
