Summary
Intensive care patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome often show renal failure
with the need for hemofiltration. Resolving renal failure after cessation of hemofiltration
may or may not be accompanied by oliguria. Whether or not the administration of diuretics at
that moment is appropriate is not known. The study randomises between furosemide or placebo
when hemofiltration is stopped. Study endpoint is recovery of renal function.
