Hemodialysis | Peritoneal Dialysis | Kidney Transplantation | Harrison’s Nephrology Series|Dr Sudhir

In this comprehensive medical overview, we dive deep into Renal Replacement Therapies (RRT)—the critical treatment options for End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and severe acute kidney injury. We break down the three primary forms of RRT: 1. Hemodialysis (HD) – Principles, vascular access (AV fistula/graft/catheter), and procedure overview. 2. Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) – Mechanism, types , peritoneal membrane filtration, and pros/cons. 3. Kidney Transplantation – Indications, donor types , immunosuppression basics, and long-term outcomes. Whether you are a medical student, nursing practitioner, healthcare provider, or patient seeking clear clinical knowledge, this video provides a detailed step-by-step breakdown of how each therapy works and how clinicians choose the right approach.
