Intermittent hemodiafiltration as a down-step transition therapy in patients with acute kidney injury admitted to intensive care unit who initially underwent continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration.

Special attention should be paid regarding the occurrence of electrolytic disturbance, mainly hypophosphatemia. PMID: 32907438 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
