Renal Replacement Therapy in High-Risk Patients

Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) is a medical treatment for individuals whose kidneys are not functioning properly, particularly in high-risk patients such as those with advanced kidney disease, diabetes, or severe illnesses. RRT helps perform the essential functions of healthy kidneys by removing waste, excess fluid, and toxins from the blood. This therapy can involve dialysis, where a machine cleans the blood, or kidney transplantation, where a healthy kidney is transplanted from a donor. It’s a crucial intervention to improve health outcomes and quality of life for patients facing severe kidney challenges.
