Course
Master of Science in Renal Replacement Therapy and Dialysis Technology is a postgraduate programme. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is therapy that replaces the normal blood-filtering function of the kidneys. It is used when the kidneys are not working well, which is called kidney failure and includes acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Renal replacement therapy includes dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration, which are various ways of filtration of blood with or without machines. Renal replacement therapy also includes kidney transplantation, which is the ultimate form of replacement in that the old kidney is replaced by a donor kidney.Dialysis technology is a highly specialized field of nephrology (care of the kidneys ). In clinical practice settings dialysis technologists provide dialysis treatment under the supervision of a physician or registered nurse
