Requirement of intensive care treatment was defined at admission and calculated by the time between admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) or intermediate care unit (IMC) and relocation to the non-ICU/non-IMC medical ward, all patients required critical care treatment > 24 h. KRT was performed intermittently in all cases. Indications of KRT included severe electrolyte and acid–base abnormalities, volume overload and encephalopathy. KRT was terminated when eGFR surpassed 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 and there was no hyperkalemia, heart failure, edema, and encephalopathy.
