Renal Replacement Therapy

Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) is a medical treatment used when the kidneys can no longer effectively filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. This can happen due to chronic kidney disease or acute kidney failure. RRT includes methods like dialysis, which artificially removes waste from the blood, and kidney transplantation, where a healthy kidney from a donor replaces the damaged ones. RRT helps maintain proper body function and overall health when the kidneys are not working adequately, allowing individuals to lead a better quality of life.
