Although many patients with AKI recover kidney function sufficiently to be independent of RRT, discontinuation of RRT in AKI has received little attention in the literature. The decision whether or when to stop RRT in a patient with AKI needs to consider an improvement in kidney function adequate to meet demand, an improvement in the disorder that prompted kidney support or futility. It is evident that each of these events is influenced by the initial indication for starting RRT and is subject to individual variation. The strategy for stopping RRT requires consideration of additional factors and often involves a modality transition.
