Principles of Renal Replacement Therapy in Critically ill children- Indian Perspective
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Life threatening complications of dyselectrolytemia, uremia and fluid overload may be prevented by early initiation of Renal Replacement Therapy(RRT).Hemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis are the modalities available. Hemodialysis is intermittent therapy, even when prolonged beyond the standard 4-hr prescription. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is defined as any extracorporeal blood purification therapy intended to substitute for acutely impaired renal function over an extended period of time and prescribed continuously for >24-h.Timely initiation of RRT for AKI in children with fluid overload and sepsis is considered useful in enabling recovery.
