Renal replacement therapy (RRT) refers to life-supporting treatments for renal failure and includes hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy. The choice of RRT depends on factors like the patient's cardiovascular status, availability of resources, and clinical considerations. Common complications include those related to vascular access and electrolyte imbalances. RRT aims to correct fluid overload, metabolic abnormalities, and remove waste through diffusion or convection.
