Acute kidney injury is a common complication in the critically ill patients with high morbidity and mortality. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is one of the most important treatments for the disease. The timing of starting and stopping of CRRT is often a matter of choice for clinicians. Early stopping of CRRT may lead to inadequate treatment, recurrent disease and poor prognosis, while excessive treatment of CRRT may prolong the hospital stay, increase medical costs and increase the risk of CRRT-related complications. In order to illustrate the proper stopping time of CRRT, this paper summarizes the research progress of the clinical indicators and biomarkers by reviewing relevant domestic and foreign data.
