1. IRON STUDIES
The Iron Studies Test measures various aspects of iron metabolism, including serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, and TIBC.
It helps diagnose and monitor iron-related conditions such as anemia and hemochromatosis, providing crucial insights into your iron status.
Patients are typically advised to fast for 8-12 hours before the test and inform their healthcare provider about any medications or supplements they are taking.
Low iron levels suggest iron deficiency, while high levels can indicate iron overload, chronic inflammation, or other underlying conditions.
The frequency of testing depends on individual health conditions and risk factors. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
2. 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.
