Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) in ICU

Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) is a medical treatment used in intensive care units (ICUs) for patients with severe kidney failure. When kidneys can't filter waste and fluids from the blood effectively, RRT helps perform this crucial function. There are different types of RRT, including dialysis, which removes toxins and excess fluids, or kidney transplantation. RRT is vital in critical care settings to manage patients' fluid balance, clear harmful substances, and support their overall health while their kidneys recover or until a long-term solution is found. It ensures patients receive the necessary care during critical illness.
