What Is Ihd Dialysis?

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) are the main types of RRT used in the management of AKI and severely ill patients. Sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLEDD) is a hybrid mode of RRT.

What is intermittent hemodialysis?

Intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) is highly effective in achieving solute removal by solute clearance and fluid removal by ultrafiltration. However, IHD achieves this over a short period of time, typically 3–5 hours.

What type of dialysis is IHD?

IHD = intermittent haemodialysis. CRRT = continuous renal replacement therapy. SLED = sustained low-efficiency dialysis or SLEDD = sustained low-efficiency daily dialysis.
