The collective term for treatments that replace kidney function — hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplant.
RRT refers to the three ways lost kidney function is replaced: hemodialysis (in-center or home), peritoneal dialysis (CAPD/APD at home), and kidney transplantation (the gold standard — restoring native-like function). The RRT decision — modality choice, timing of start, transplant planning — is a shared decision involving eGFR trajectory, symptoms, lifestyle, access options, and candidacy. Home dialysis and preemptive transplant are the highest-value options where feasible.
A medical procedure that filters waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood using a dialysis machine when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately.
A dialysis modality that uses the patient's peritoneal membrane as a natural filter, with dialysate fluid introduced into the abdominal cavity to remove waste and excess fluid.
A surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is transplanted into a patient with end-stage renal disease to restore kidney function.
Kidney transplantation performed before dialysis is ever needed — associated with the best graft and patient outcomes.
