Abstract

Leura Quater

Renal Replacement Therapy holds pivotal significance in addressing end-stage renal disease (ESRD), marked by irreversible kidney function decline. With ESRD prevalence escalating worldwide, the urgency for proficient and impactful RRT solutions intensifies. Recent technological progressions have reshaped the kidney care domain, presenting unprecedented avenues for enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life during RRT. This piece delves into the profound influence of technology on the evolution of renal replacement therapy and its far-reaching implications for kidney care. Before exploring the impact of technology, it's crucial to grasp the fundamentals of Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT). RRT encompasses diverse treatment approaches aimed at substituting the critical functions of the kidneys in individuals with ESRD. The primary RRT methods include hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation.
