Continuous Renal Replacement Therapies (CRRT)

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is a specialized treatment for patients with severe kidney failure, typically in critical care settings. Unlike traditional dialysis, which occurs a few times a week, CRRT runs continuously over 24 hours, gently filtering and removing waste, excess fluid, and toxins from the blood. This gradual approach is particularly beneficial for critically ill patients who may struggle to tolerate rapid fluid and electrolyte changes. CRRT helps maintain balance in the body and supports other failing organs, improving the overall chances of recovery.
