Services
Renal Replacement Therapy (Acute and Chronic)
We provide essential Renal Replacement Therapy for both acute and chronic kidney conditions. These therapies are crucial life-support treatments for patients experiencing kidney failure, ensuring proper filtration of waste and toxins from the bloodstream, and promoting overall kidney function.
Plasmapheresis
Our hospital offers Plasmapheresis, a specialized procedure vital for patients with autoimmune disorders or severe infections. It involves removing, filtering, and returning plasma to the patient, effectively eliminating harmful substances from the blood, and leading to improved health outcomes.
CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy)
At Holy Cross Hospital, CRRT is used to filter toxins and waste products continuously from the blood. This method is particularly beneficial for patients with acute kidney injury, ensuring the steady removal of impurities and maintaining a stable internal environment.
Hemoperfusion
Hemoperfusion, available at our facility, is used to remove toxins from the blood. This advanced technique is essential for patients who have ingested poisonous substances or are experiencing severe intoxication, effectively purifying the bloodstream and aiding in the patient's recovery.
