Expert kidney care and renal replacement therapies for critically ill patients by Dr. Debabrata Mukherjee.
Acute renal failure (ARF), also known as acute kidney injury, is a severe condition often seen in critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU). Traditionally, outcomes for these patients were poor; however, advancements in renal replacement therapy (RRT) and dialysis delivery have significantly improved survival and recovery rates.
CCU Nephrology (Coronary Care Unit Nephrology) is a specialized hospital unit dedicated to the care of patients with kidney-related complications during critical illness. This subspecialty has grown alongside the rise of critical care medicine, focusing on managing complex kidney, liver, and urinary tract issues in the critically ill, including infections such as complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), prostate problems, and cancers.
Improvements in dialysis techniques, including continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and intermittent hemodialysis, have revolutionized care for critically ill patients. These treatments help remove toxins, manage fluid balance, and support kidney function while patients recover.
Dr. Debabrata Mukherjee, Director of Nephrology at Max Hospital Gurugram, specializes in CCU nephrology and critical care kidney medicine. With extensive experience in managing acute renal failure and complex kidney conditions in critically ill patients, Dr. Mukherjee provides personalized treatment plans using the latest innovations in nephrology.
