Continuous renal replacement therapy.
Acute renal failure refers to sudden deterioration in biochemical and physiological functioning of kidneys and often associated with multi organ failure. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) holds special significance for the treatment of renal failure due to a variety of factors. It is believed that CRRT helps in restoration of acid-base imbalances and electrolyte abnormalities. Along w...
متن کاملContinuous renal replacement therapy.
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a blood purification modality that uses a combination of convection and diffusion to eliminate uremic toxins and correct electrolyte imbalances. Although CRRT is usually associated with the treatment of acute renal failure, it can also be useful in treating many types of toxicoses and drug overdoses. Unlike intermittent hemodialysis, in which the p...
متن کاملContinuous Renal Replacement Therapy
Acute renal failure (ARF) is currently more frequently seen as part of a more complex syndrome defined by sepsis and/or multiple organ failure. Evolution in the field of hemodialysis has led to a parallel development of new systems for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients. The various CRRT modalities differ in the type of vascular access, application of diffusi...
متن کاملAnticoagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy.
More than half of patients with acute renal failure in the intensive care unit require dialysis, and the majority of them have significant hemodynamic instability. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is often the preferred dialysis modality in these patients. One requirement for CRRT is anticoagulation, which can expose patients to the risk of bleeding. However, absence of effective ant...
متن کاملVascular access for continuous renal replacement therapy.
A working vascular access is essential for performing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) efficiently and without interruption. Dual-lumen temporary hemodialysis catheters are the catheters of choice, although tunneled catheters can also be utilized if therapy is expected to be prolonged. Hemodialysis catheters have to be inserted under ultrasound guidance by trained personnel, using as...
