Are There Alternatives to Hemodialysis?

In some cases, other methods of enhancing toxin elimination may be considered. These include:
- Hemoperfusion, which involves the passage of blood through a column containing adsorbent materials like activated charcoal
- Plasmapheresis, which separates plasma from blood cells to remove toxins
- Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), a slower, continuous form of dialysis often used in critically ill patients
Each method has its own indications, advantages, and disadvantages.
