Neonatal and Paediatric CRRT Procedure

Paediatric Renal replacement therapy Procedure in Yeshwanthpur

Neonatal and Paediatric Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is a specialised medical procedure for infants and children facing severe kidney dysfunction. This treatment is crucial when traditional kidney function is compromised, demanding a gentle and continuous method to provide necessary renal support. CRRT procedure uses a hemofilter, an artificial kidney, to gradually remove waste products and excess fluids from your blood. It mimics the natural kidney's function for a continuous and adapted approach for neonates and paediatric patients.

The process starts by making an opening to get blood flow, usually using a small catheter inserted into the umbilical vessels for neonates or larger veins for older paediatric patients. Blood is then gently pumped through the CRRT circuit, passing through the hemofilter, where waste products and excess fluids are removed. The filtered blood is subsequently returned, ensuring a continuous process to support renal function. Anticoagulants may be required to stop clotting inside the CRRT system. During the process, doctors check vitals and blood chemicals regularly. It helps them to make quick changes if needed, so the treatment works better keeping the patient out of danger. The length of CRRT changes depending on what each person needs. Some patients get short-term therapy for acute kidney problems, while others with chronic issues might need longer treatment.
