CRRT Effluent Dose & KDIGO Target Calculator (CVVH / CVVHD / CVVHDF)

Calculates continuous renal replacement therapy effluent dose (mL/kg/hr) and pre-dilution correction.

Parameters

CRRT Effluent Dose & KDIGO Target Calculator (CVVH / CVVHD / CVVHDF) Result

--
FormulaPrescribed Effluent (mL/kg/hr) = (Qdialysate + Qreplacement + Qultrafiltration) / Weight (kg) Delivered Dose corrects convective clearance by Pre-dilution Factor: Qb(1-Hct)*60 / (Qb(1-Hct)*60 + Qrep,pre)

Clinical Pearls

Prevents underdosing and wasteful overdosing of continuous dialysis while avoiding dangerous drug clearance fluctuations in septic shock and AKI.

Limitations

Calculations should use dry baseline weight rather than fluid-overloaded weight.
