Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT)

Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) is a medical treatment used when the kidneys can no longer effectively remove waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the body. It mimics the kidney’s function through procedures like dialysis, which filters blood outside the body, or kidney transplantation. RRT helps maintain proper chemical and fluid balance, preventing life-threatening complications. It is essential for patients with severe kidney failure to sustain overall health until their kidneys recover or a transplant becomes available.
