Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) is a form of dialysis used to treat kidney failure. It is a process of removing waste and excess fluid from the body when the kidneys are no longer able to do so. RRT can be done through hemodialysis, which uses a machine to filter the blood, or peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen to filter the blood. Both methods require a dialysis machine, a dialyzer, and a dialysate solution. The dialysis machine pumps the blood through the dialyzer, which filters out the waste and excess fluid, and then returns the clean blood to the body. The dialysate solution helps to remove the waste and excess fluid from the body. RRT is a growing market, with many companies offering dialysis machines, dialyzers, and dialysate solutions. Some of these companies include Fresenius Medical Care, Baxter International, Nipro Corporation, B. Braun Melsungen AG, and DaVita Inc. Show Less Read more
