Select all statements that accurately describe peritoneal dialysis for acute kidney injury.

  1. A

    Dialysate is placed in the abdominal cavity, and the peritoneum acts as the exchange membrane.

  2. B

    It avoids the risk of peritonitis.

  5. E

    Abdominal fill volume may impair breathing.

    Access and circuit function, including treatment interruptions

  4. D

    Electrolytes and acid–base status at intervals appropriate to the patient and modality

When should renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury be discontinued?

  1. A

    When a single creatinine measurement falls below a universal cutoff

  2. B

    Only after the patient has completed a fixed number of treatments

  3. C

    Whenever urine output increases, regardless of the patient's needs

  4. D

    When kidney function sufficiently meets the patient's needs or treatment no longer aligns with goals of care

A patient with acute kidney injury has a rising creatinine but no other information is provided. Which approach to deciding about RRT is best supported?

  1. A

    Consider symptoms, trends, fluid balance, and the overall condition rather than relying on one laboratory value.

  2. B

    Start RRT whenever creatinine rises, regardless of symptoms or other findings.

  3. C

    Wait until both BUN and creatinine reach fixed universal thresholds.

  4. D

    Use oliguria alone to determine whether RRT is required.
