1. What is deep brain stimulation surgery?

Deep brain stimulation surgery involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to specific brain areas to regulate abnormal activity and manage symptoms.

2. ELECTROLYTES

The ELECTROLYTES Test helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as dehydration, kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders by assessing essential mineral levels.

No special preparation is typically needed, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.

Abnormal electrolyte levels can indicate dehydration, kidney disorders, heart conditions, diabetes complications, or metabolic imbalances.

Results are usually available within a few hours to a day after the blood sample is collected.

The ELECTROLYTES Test at Chirayu SuperSpeciality Hospital is priced at ₹550.

3. Continuous renal replacement therapy

CRRT is a medical therapy used in intensive care units to manage patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or severe kidney dysfunction. It involves the continuous removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood.

CRRT is used when a patient’s kidneys are unable to adequately filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to dangerous levels of toxins and fluid overload.

CRRT differs from hemodialysis in that it is slower and performed continuously over 24 hours or longer periods. Hemodialysis, on the other hand, is intermittent and typically lasts for a few hours.

Yes, CRRT can be used cautiously in patients with heart failure to manage fluid overload and electrolyte imbalances, with careful monitoring of hemodynamic status.

CRRT provides gentler and more gradual fluid and solute removal, making it suitable for hemodynamically unstable patients who cannot tolerate the rapid changes associated with conventional hemodialysis.
