In medicine, renal replacement therapy is "procedures which temporarily or permanently remedy insufficient cleansing of body fluids by the kidneys."[1]

Renal replacement therapy may be used as treatment for acute kidney injury[2] or chronic kidney disease.

Classification

Methods of renal replacement therapy can be divided into temporary and permanent methods.

Temporary

  Method of solute transport Purpose Principle adverse effects
Hemodialysis Dialysis
(selective diffusion to "separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not"[3])
For smaller molecular weight solutes (< 5000 Daltons) such as urea and creatinine Hemodynamic instability
Hemofiltration Ultrafiltration
(convective transport to "separation of particles from a suspension by passage through a filter with very fine pores"[4])
Hemodiafiltration Dialysis and ultrafiltration

Temporary methods can be divided into those that are based on convective transport of solutes and those that are based on selective diffusion of solutes.

Permanent
