Abstract

The study was conducted to assess the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) at the Neonatal Center of Vietnam National Children’s Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. This was a case series study of 21 neonates who received CRRT. The results noted that the average age and weight were 6.71 ± 5.35 days, and 3015.71 ± 346.30 gram. Male to female ratio was approximately 3:1. The most common indication for continuous renal replacement therapy was inherited metabolic disorders (90.5%). The survival rate in our study was 61.9%. The most common complications of CRRT in neonates were hypokalemia and filter clotting representing 85.7% and 80.9% respectively. In conclusion, although CRRT is a new therapy in neonatal intensive care unit, it has achieved good outcomes, especially in the neonates2 diagnosed with inherited metabolic disorders.
