Clinical trials predominantly single-center studies have shown conflicting results. The Acute Renal Failure Trial Network ATN Study was designed to compare clinical outcomes between patients allocated to an intensive dose versus a less-intensive dose of renal replacement therapy. Recently the results of this large randomized controlled multicenter study were published. The present article will discuss certain aspects of this trial the overall design the baseline patient characteristics and comparison of the results with earlier studies. Finally the article will address the implications of the ATN Study results for clinical practice. .
