Renal Replacement Therapy in Children

Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) in children is a medical treatment for kids with severe kidney dysfunction. When kidneys can't filter waste and excess fluid effectively, RRT steps in to perform this crucial job. The main types are dialysis (which cleans the blood) and kidney transplantation (in which a healthy kidney from a donor is placed in the child). RRT helps maintain the child's health, growth, and quality of life while managing the complications of kidney failure. It is tailored to each child's needs, considering factors like age, overall health, and family preferences.
