  • Detailed and current reports from major international pediatric acute care nephrology registries

  • The integration of novel AKI biomarkers into risk-stratification algorithms both at single and longitudinal time points in new populations

  • The latest results from studies of novel extracorporeal devices aimed to improve outcomes for patients with multi-organ failure including AKI

  • Review of long-term outcome studies of children and young adults who survive an AKI episode

  • Considerations for novel and modern AKI trial designs and endpoints

  • Proposals for AKI management strategies to utilize our current knowledge to optimize AKI interventional studies and improve patient outcomes

Medical professionals (RN and MD) are provided with an integrated platform to acquire new skills and abilities that will:

  • Improve aptitude in caring for CRRT patients

  • Increase working knowledge of the CRRT machine and ability to troubleshoot alarms

  • Enhance abilities to navigate and adapt to complex situations involving CRRT

  • Develop strategies for addressing challenging communication issues and program structure.

What CRRT University™ participants are saying
about their experience

  • “I thought the training provided a 'realistic' view.”

  • “The ONE most important thing learned was troubleshooting CRRT alarms, evidence to initiate procedure earlier in renal failure patients, pre-dilution vs post-dilution fluids, and alarm management.”

  • “I learned many tips about trouble shooting the machine.”  

  • “I now know how to better address alarms. Sometimes you simply don’t have a CRRT orientation experience that allows you to do much "troubleshooting" so the course allowed me to practice a lot of that, for example, the dialysate weight alarm troubleshooting.”  

  • “The ONE most important thing learned was developing a yearly competency surrounding CRRT for all PICU nurses.”
