Download or read book Renal Replacement Therapy Principles and Practice written by Penny Summers and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renal replacement therapy is a kind of therapy in which the normal blood-filtering function of the kidneys is replaced. It is primarily used when the kidneys are not functioning well, which is known as renal failure. It includes acute kidney injuries and chronic kidney diseases. Dialysis, hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration, etc. are the various ways of filtration of blood involved in renal replacement therapy. It also includes kidney transplantation in which the infected kidney is replaced by the donor's kidney. These treatments are life-extending treatments and are not truly cures for kidney diseases. The process of hemodialysis, hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration can use an arteriovenous route or a venovenous route and can be continuous or intermittent. This results in various types of RRT such as continuous renal replacement therapy, continuous hemodialysis, continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis, intermittent renal replacement therapy, intermittent hemodialysis and intermittent venovenous hemodialysis. This book studies, analyzes and upholds the pillars of renal replacement therapy and its utmost significance in modern times. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. Researchers and students in this field will be greatly assisted by this book.
Download or read book Aspects in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy written by Ayman Karkar and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a slow and smooth continuous extracorporeal blood purification process. It is usually implemented over 24 hours to several days with gentle removal of fluid overload and excess uremic toxins. CRRT, which is based on the physiological principles of diffusion, ultrafiltration, convection, and adsorption, can be performed as slow continuous ultrafiltration, continuous veno-venous hemofiltration, continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration, and continuous veno-venous hemodialysis. Over many years, CRRT has been shown to be an effective dialysis therapy for hemodynamically unstable patients with acute kidney injury, brain injury, and/or multiorgan failure in intensive care units. Aspects in CRRT covers selected important topics with a practical approach to the management of different aspects of CRRT. All chapters have been updated and are well referenced, supported by well-illustrated figures and tables, and written by distinguished and experienced authors. Aspects in CRRT is considered as a guide to daily practice in intensive care units, and a reference for medical and nursing staff involved in taking care of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury, sepsis, and multiorgan failure.

Book excerpt: Dialysis is a process of the removal of excess water, toxins and solutes from the blood in those people whose kidneys are not able to function naturally. It is also known as renal replacement therapy. Dialysis is needed when there is a sudden and rapid loss of kidney function termed as acute kidney injury or when chronic kidney disease reaches stage 5. It is a permanent measure in those for whom a kidney transplant is not possible and a temporary measure in those who have acute kidney injury or awaiting kidney transplant. This book unravels the recent studies related to the principles and practice of dialysis. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
