Title: Use of High-Flow Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy with Citrate Anticoagulation to Control Intracranial Pressure by Maintaining Hypernatremia in a Patient with Acute Brain Injury and Renal Failure. Author: Medow JE, Sanghvi SR, Hofmann RM. Journal: Clin Med Res; 2015 Jun; 13(2):89-93. PubMed ID: 25487240.
