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.

The test helps detect pancreatitis, pancreatic disorders, and other digestive issues.

No fasting is required, but inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.

A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm in a quick, simple procedure.

Elevated levels may suggest pancreatic inflammation or other pancreatic conditions.

Results are typically available within a few hours to a day.

Types include flexible cystoscopy, rigid cystoscopy, and retrograde cystoscopy, each used 

based on the diagnostic or therapeutic needs.
