Conclusions: In the critically ill due to H1N1 pneumonia, renal insufficiency was a frequent complication, demanding renal replacement therapy in 18% of cases. The need for HD was associated with an elevated risk of death. Mortality was mainly associated with multiple organ failure, oligoanuria, acute renal injury and a lack of recovery of renal function.
