Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of hospitalized patients that is associated with high mortality rate despite all developments. Continuous and intermittent hemodialysis are renal replacement treatment modalities for AKI. In our study we aimed to compare the mortality rates of continuous hemodialysis (CHD) and intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) in hospitalized patients.
