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. FERRITIN
The Ferritin Test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood, indicating your body’s total iron stores.
It helps diagnose and monitor iron-related conditions like anemia and iron overload disorders, providing crucial insights into your iron metabolism.
A simple blood sample is collected and analyzed to determine ferritin levels, usually requiring no special preparation.
Low levels suggest iron deficiency, while high levels can indicate iron overload, chronic inflammation, or liver disease.
Frequency depends on individual health conditions and risk factors. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
3. S.G.O.T
Elevated S.G.O.T levels may suggest liver damage or disease, cardiac issues, or muscle injury.
Yes, certain medications and supplements can influence S.G.O.T levels. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
No, fasting is generally not required unless specified by your healthcare provider.
The frequency of testing depends on your health condition and your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
Abnormal levels may indicate underlying health issues. Further evaluation and treatment may be necessary based on your test results.
