Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)

CRRT Treatment in Kanakapura Road

When a loved one in the ICU becomes critically unwell, families want steady, reliable life-support options. Continuous renal replacement therapy in Kanakapura Road offers gentle, 24/7 blood cleaning for patients who are very sick with issues like acute kidney injury, sepsis, or fluid overload. Our expert team of Nephrologists at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road offers confidential, multidisciplinary CRRT with bedside monitoring, tailored anticoagulation, and family discussions to guide care and decisions for these patients, explaining goals, expected course, and how CRRT minimises haemodynamic swings compared with intermittent haemodialysis.

How It Works

CRRT is started when a combined nephrology and ICU assessment identifies indications such as severe acute kidney injury, life-threatening fluid overload, refractory hyperkalaemia, or toxin removal needs. Vascular access is via a temporary central venous catheter placed at the bedside under ultrasound guidance by trained clinicians. Anticoagulation is individualised, regional citrate or systemic heparin, selected to balance clotting and bleeding risks.

Therapy runs continuously using convection, diffusion, or combined modalities (CVVH, CVVHD, CVVHDF) to remove solutes and fluid slowly, preserving haemodynamic stability. Prescription parameters, blood flow, dialysate and replacement fluid rates, and ultrafiltration targets are tailored to the patient and adjusted frequently by ICU doctors. Filters and circuits are monitored for clotting and performance; circuits are changed per protocol or sooner if needed.

Laboratory monitoring (electrolytes, acid–base, haemoglobin) guides hourly-to-daily adjustments. Pharmacists review drug dosing during CRRT. Care is discussed in daily multidisciplinary rounds with nephrology, critical care, pharmacy, and nursing to align dialysis prescription, nutrition, and ventilator management. As recovery permits, the team plans a safe transition to intermittent haemodialysis or outpatient follow-up.

Benefits

CRRT is often preferred in critical care settings because it offers several important advantages for patients with severe kidney failure.

  • CRRT provides continuous, gentle fluid removal and solute clearance for unstable patients.

  • It reduces blood pressure fluctuations compared with intermittent dialysis, improving tolerance.

  • CRRT also enables precise fluid and electrolyte control, supporting organ perfusion and recovery.

  • It facilitates timely decisions about recovery, transplant evaluation, or long-term dialysis planning.

What to Expect

From referral to follow-up, Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road supports families through each stage of CRRT with clarity and care.

  • Consultation and Assessment - A nephrologist and critical care physician review the patient’s condition, medications, and goals of care to confirm CRRT indication and urgency.

  • Pre-treatment Guidance - The team provides clear explanations about benefits, risks, anticipated duration, and consent, including anticoagulation choices and line placement details.

  • Vascular Access and Initiation - Bedside ultrasound-guided central venous catheter insertion is performed by experienced clinicians; CRRT is initiated with a tailored prescription and baseline labs.

  • Monitoring and Titration - Nursing and pharmacy monitor haemodynamics, anticoagulation, electrolytes, and filtration rates; hourly and daily adjustments prevent complications and ensure targets are met.

  • Multidisciplinary Review - Daily rounds with nephrology, ICU, nutrition, and pharmacy coordinate drug dosing, fluid goals, and recovery planning.

  • Transition and Follow-up - As stability improves, plans for intermittent dialysis, renal recovery monitoring, or outpatient nephrology follow-up are discussed with the family.

  • Ongoing Support - Family updates, psychosocial support, and clear documentation, including discharge instructions, are provided to aid recovery and future planning.

FAQ's

CRRT is continuous blood purification for critically ill, haemodynamically unstable patients with acute kidney injury, severe fluid overload, or metabolic disturbances. It's chosen when intermittent dialysis is poorly tolerated. Clinically.

CRRT runs continuously and may continue for days to weeks until patient stabilisation or kidney recovery. Monitoring includes haemodynamics, electrolytes, filter integrity, anticoagulation, fluid balance, and daily multidisciplinary reviews as needed.

Risks include catheter-related infection, circuit clotting, bleeding from anticoagulation, electrolyte shifts, and haemodynamic instability. Our protocols minimise risks through sterile technique, monitoring, rapid response, and family counselling support.

Coverage depends on the insurer and clinical indication. Our team provides documentation, pre-authorisation support, and transfer coordination.
