Hemodialysis, hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration can be continuous or intermittent and can use an arteriovenous route (in which blood leaves from an artery and returns via a vein) or a venovenous route (in which blood leaves from a vein and returns via a vein). This results in various types of<unk> , as follows: * continuous<unk>  (CRRT) — continuous<unk>  (CRRT) is a form of dialysis<unk>  used in critical care settings. The benefit of CRRT for critically ill patients is that it runs slowly (generally over 24 hours to several days) allowing for removal of excess fluid and uremic toxins with less risk of hypotensive complications. * continuous hemodialysis (CHD) * continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis (CAVHD) * continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) * continuous hemofiltration (CHF) * continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration (CAVH or CAVHF) * continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH or CVVHF) * continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) * continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration (CAVHDF) * continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) * intermittent<unk>  (IRRT) * intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) * intermittent venovenous hemodialysis (IVVHD) * intermittent hemofiltration (IHF) * intermittent venovenous hemofiltration (IVVH or IVVHF) * intermittent hemodiafiltration (IHDF) * intermittent venovenous hemodiafiltration (IVVHDF)
