Techniques of Renal Replacement Therapy

Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) is a treatment for kidney failure, helping to perform the vital functions of healthy kidneys. The primary techniques include hemodialysis, where a machine filters waste from the blood, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen to filter substances. Kidney transplant is another option, where a healthy kidney from a donor is placed into the patient’s body. These therapies aim to manage symptoms, remove toxins, and maintain fluid balance, allowing individuals to live healthier lives despite impaired kidney function.
