CRRT is a slow, continuous form of dialysis given over many hours or days to critically ill patients whose kidneys have failed and whose blood pressure is too unstable for standard dialysis. It removes fluid and waste gradually and is run through a dialysis catheter. As a kidney hospital in Mumbai with ICU dialysis facilities, Apex provides continuous renal replacement therapy for these patients.

How the Procedure Can Help

CRRT gently removes fluid and toxins, making it better tolerated by patients in shock or with multi-organ failure. It allows careful correction of fluid overload and electrolyte disturbance and helps create room for nutrition and medicines in very sick patients.

Risks and Considerations

Low blood pressure, clotting of the circuit, bleeding from blood thinners used to keep it running, and electrolyte changes can occur. Catheter infection is possible, and some medicines need dose adjustment during therapy. CRRT requires intensive monitoring and is used only in the ICU setting.
