What Does CRRT Stand For?

CRRT stands for Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

CRRT, or Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, is a dialysis modality designed for patients with acute kidney injury or severe fluid overload. It provides a slow and continuous removal of waste products and excess fluid from the blood, typically used in critically ill patients who require hemodynamic stability. This therapy allows for better control of electrolyte balance and fluid removal while minimizing fluctuations in hemodynamics, making it suitable for those unable to tolerate traditional intermittent dialysis.
