An adequately powered, randomized controlled trial that compares standard therapy (either thrice-weekly intermittent hemodialysis with KT/V of 1.2 or CRRT with effluent of 20 ml/kg per h) with higher-intensity therapy. No difference was seen among clinical outcomes in these groups.

A large multicenter randomized study comparing standard vs. higher dose of renal replacement therapy. Although no difference was seen between groups, this study initiated CRRT very early in the disease process in patients who were sicker than historic controls. They showed outcomes better than any other study of its kind to date.
