First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether continuous kidney replacement therapy can cause temporary heart muscle weakness (myocardial stunning) in critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury. Researchers used echocardiograms to measure changes in heart wall motion in 42 adults. The goal was to understand if this heart effect is common and independent of changes in blood volume.
