CCU Nephrology: Advanced Critical Care for Acute Renal Failure & Kidney Diseases
Expert kidney care and renal replacement therapies for critically ill patients by Dr. Debabrata Mukherjee.
Understanding Acute Renal Failure in Critical Illness
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.
The Role of CCU Nephrology in Critical Care
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.
Conditions Managed by CCU Nephrology Specialists
- Acute renal failure (acute kidney injury)
- Chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease
- Kidney stones and urinary tract infections
- Kidney and prostate cancers
- Complex urinary tract infections (cUTI)
- Renal replacement therapies including dialysis
Innovations in Renal Replacement Therapy and Dialysis
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.
