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. URIC ACID
The normal range for serum uric acid levels is typically 3.5 to 7.2 mg/dL for men and 2.6 to 6.0 mg/dL for women. However, this range may vary slightly depending on the laboratory.
Yes, diet can affect uric acid levels. Foods high in purines, such as red meat, shellfish, and sugary beverages, can increase uric acid levels in the blood.
Gout is typically treated with medications to reduce pain and inflammation, as well as drugs that lower uric acid levels. Lifestyle changes, such as dietary modifications and increased hydration, are also recommended.
Yes, certain medications can affect uric acid levels. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking before the test.
The frequency of testing depends on your individual health condition and the recommendations of your healthcare provider. Patients with gout or those undergoing treatment for high uric acid levels may need more frequent testing.
