Renal Replacement Therapy World Kidney Day
Renal Replacement therapy is used to replace the lost functions of the kidneys, such as filtering the blood, regulating electrolyte balance, and producing hormones. There are two main types of RRT: hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Hemodialysis is a process that involves removing blood from the body, filtering it through a machine, and then returning it to the body. PD involves using the lining of the abdomen as a filter for waste and excess fluid removal. RRT can help patients maintain their quality of life by improving their symptoms, reducing complications, and extending their lifespan. Choice of RRT modality is based on various factors such as age, health status, lifestyle, and preferences of the patient.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Hepatic Regeneration After Hepatectomy
Hepatic regeneration after hepatectomy is a dynamic process where the liver rapidly repairs and regenerates its tissue by activating hepatocytes and liver progenitor cells. This regenerative ability is essential for restoring liver function and maintaining homeostasis following partial liver resection or injury.
Fluorescence Guided Breast Cancer Surgery
Fluorescence-guided breast cancer surgery uses fluorescent dyes, such as indocyanine green (ICG), to illuminate cancerous tissues and lymph nodes, aiding surgeons in precisely identifying and removing tumors. This technique improves surgical outcomes by enhancing the visualization of cancerous areas, reducing the chances of leaving residual cancer cells behind.
