Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a term of blood purification technique that can continuously remove the body's solute and water for 24 hours without any interruption throughout each day. It has several advantages such as hemodynamic stability, accurate capacity control, stable internal environment, and inflammatory regulation, which is especially suitable for patients with severe hemodynamic instability. In clinical practice, critically ill patients treated with CRRT are often associated with different types of acidosis, including metabolic acidosis, lactic acidosis, citrate acidosis, ketoacidosis and hypercapnic acidosis. Different types of acidosis can be treated in different ways. This paper reviews the CRRT for special types of acidosis.
