FLUID BALANCE HOMEOSTASIS¹⁷

In a multicenter, prospective observational study in North America consisting of 618 patients, mortality was higher in patients with fluid overload at 30 days, 60 days, and discharge. Patients with CRRT were more likely to have reduced fluid overload. Patient mortality was lower when fluid overload was corrected by dialysis. In addition, fluid overload was associated with non-recovery of kidney function.
