Electrolyte Management in CRRT

Electrolyte management in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) involves carefully balancing minerals in the blood, like sodium, potassium, and calcium, during treatment for kidney failure. CRRT helps filter waste and excess fluids continuously, mimicking healthy kidney function. As the process removes and adds fluids, healthcare providers monitor electrolyte levels closely to prevent imbalances that could lead to complications. Adjusting the composition of the replacement fluids ensures that patients maintain proper levels of these essential minerals, which are vital for heart function, muscle health, and overall bodily processes. This delicate balance is crucial for patient recovery and well-being.
