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.

Pain is managed with medication, and discomfort is usually minimal. Physical therapy helps alleviate stiffness and maintain joint mobility.

The BT CT Test measures bleeding time and clotting time to assess the blood’s clotting ability.

No, fasting is not required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

A healthcare provider makes a small incision on your skin to measure bleeding time and tests how long it takes for your blood to clot in a tube.

The BT CT Test helps diagnose bleeding disorders like haemophilia and clotting disorders such as thrombocytopenia.

The BT CT Test involves minimal risks, such as minor bleeding or bruising at the site of the incision.
