Background & Aims Current guidelines discourage renal replacement therapy (RRT) in critically ill cirrhotics in the lack of liver transplant (LT) options. This study aimed to identify patients who benefit from RRT in the short and long-term. Methods Critically ill cirrhotics were included over a time period of 6 years and followed for at least 1 year. CLIF-C ACLF, CLIF-SOFA, SOFA and MELD scores on admission, 24 h prior to RRT, 24 and 48 hours after start of RRT were analysed for their predictive value of ICU-mortality. Additionally, long-term renal recovery and successful bridging to LT was assessed. Results In total, 40% (78/193) of patients required RRT. ICU-, 28 days-, 90 days-, and 1 year-mortality was 71%, 83%, 91%, and 92%, respectively, and was significantly higher than in patients without need for RRT (4%, 30%, 43%, and 50%), P
