The decision to initiate<unk>  or hemofiltration in patients with kidney failure depends on several factors. These can be divided into acute or chronic indications. Depression and kidney failure symptoms can be similar to each other. It's important that there's open communication between a<unk>  team and the patient. Open communication will allow giving a better quality of life. Knowing the patients’ needs will allow the<unk>  team to provide more options like: changes in<unk>  type like home<unk>  for patients to be able to be more active or changes in eating habits to avoid unnecessary waste products. Acute indications Indications for<unk>  in a patient with acute kidney injury are summarized with the vowel mnemonic of "AEIOU": # Acidemia from metabolic acidosis in situations in which correction with sodium bicarbonate is impractical or may result in fluid overload. # Electrolyte abnormality, such as severe hyperkalemia, especially when combined with AKI. # Intoxication, that is, acute poisoning with a dialyzable substance. These substances can be represented by the mnemonic SLIME: salicylic acid, lithium, isopropanol, magnesium-containing laxatives and ethylene glycol. # Overload of fluid not expected to respond to treatment with diuretics # Uremia complications, such as pericarditis, encephalopathy, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Chronic indications Chronic<unk>  may be indicated when a patient has symptomatic kidney failure and low glomerular filtration rate (GFR 2. Observational data from large registries of<unk>  patients suggests that early start of<unk>  may be harmful. The most recent published guidelines from Canada, for when to initiate<unk> , recommend an intent to defer<unk>  until a patient has definite kidney failure symptoms, which may occur at an estimated GFR of 5–9 ml/min/1.732.
