This document provides an overview of sustained low-efficiency extended dialysis (SLED). SLED uses a hemodialysis machine with slower blood and dialysate flow rates and a smaller filter over 8-12 hours, often overnight. This allows for less rapid fluid and electrolyte shifts compared to conventional hemodialysis. SLED has similar outcomes to continuous renal replacement therapy but is simpler, cheaper, and easier on nurses. It also allows more time for patient rehabilitation compared to other acute renal replacement therapies.
