We found that COVID-19 patients with AKI requiring CRRT had similar CRRT hemofilter half-life compared with sepsis-associated AKI patients with use of regional citrate and systemic heparin. Further studies are needed to find which methods of anticoagulation are optimal in patients with COVID-19 infection with AKI requiring CRRT.
