Importance of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)
CRRT is essential for managing patients with severe acute kidney injury in the ICU, offering a gentle and continuous method for kidney replacement. This approach allows for precise control of fluid and electrolytes, making it suitable for patients facing significant challenges like severe hyperkalemia or fluid overload. Continuous operation enables health professionals to adjust solute and fluid management independently, providing flexibility that traditional intermittent hemodialysis cannot match. These attributes position CRRT as a preferable option for critically ill patients who require ongoing, careful volume management.
