Abstract Introduction Renal replacement therapy RRT is a fully established treatment for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury AKI but there are no scientifically established criteria when to initiate it. Our objectives were to describe the epidemiology of critically ill patients with AKI receiving RRT and to evaluate the relationship between biochemical physiological and comorbid factors at time of RRT and ICU mortality. Methods Retrospective analysis of demographic and physiologic data of 1 847 patients who received RRT for AKI in 22 ICUs in UK and Germany between 1989 - 1999. Results of RRT patients died in ICU. ICU survivors were younger had a lower APACHE II score and fewer failed organ systems on admission to ICU compared to non-survivors. Multivariate analysis showed that at time of initiation of RRT independent risk factors for ICU mortality were mechanical ventilation odds ratio OR neurological failure
