HD Patient mobility for CRRT vs HD vs PD CRRT: immobile HD: mobile when not connected PD: mobile CRRT benefits better hemodynamic stability and volume control HD benefits higher efficiency, low technique failure rate, early detection of underdialyssis, intermittent tx/heparin, closer pt monitoring PD benefits Improves CV stability due to slow UFR, preserves residual renal function (less stress on heart and kidneys), higher clearance of larger solutes, maintains independence, less blood loss/anemia, no heparin required, convenient route for insulin/abx CRRT risks Continuous nursing care, anticoagulant needed, increased cost, hypothermia HD risks requires multiple visits/wk, disequilibrium, increased risk of hypotension and muscle cramps, less volume control, infections related to membranes, rapid decline of residual renal function PD risks
