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. LEPTOSPIRA IGG
A positive result indicates the presence of IgG antibodies against Leptospira bacteria, suggesting past exposure or current infection.
No, the test detects IgG antibodies regardless of the timing of infection. Additional tests may be needed to differentiate acute from past infections.
Yes, in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other tests, the Leptospira IgG test can aid in diagnosing both acute and past infections.
No specific precautions are necessary after the test. Follow any instructions provided by your healthcare provider based on your results.
Consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation, as additional tests or clinical assessment may be necessary.
