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. SONOGRAPHY

A Sonography Test, or ultrasound, uses sound waves to create images of internal organs and structures without radiation.

Preparation varies by type: fasting for abdominal, full bladder for pelvic, and generally no special preparation for pregnancy ultrasounds.

The test typically takes between 15 to 45 minutes. Results are available within a few hours to a day.

It evaluates organ size, shape, tissue characteristics, blood flow, and in pregnancy, fetal development and health.
