1. 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.
2. LDH
High LDH levels can indicate tissue damage or disease in the heart, liver, muscles, brain, kidneys, or lungs.
Yes, certain medications and supplements can influence LDH levels. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
No, fasting is generally not required unless specified by your healthcare provider.
The frequency of testing depends on your health condition and your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
Abnormal LDH levels may indicate underlying health issues. Further evaluation and treatment may be necessary based on your test results.
3. Urology
Urology is a medical specialty that focuses on the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra) and the male reproductive system (prostate, testicles, penis).
These can include pain or burning during urination, frequent urination, blood in the urine, difficulty emptying the bladder, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and lower back pain.
Risk factors include age, family history, lifestyle habits (smoking), and certain medical conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure).
Maintain a healthy weight, drink plenty of fluids, avoid smoking, and eat a balanced diet.
Tests may include urinalysis, urine culture, blood tests, imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scan), and urodynamic testing.
