SLED (Sustained Low Efficiency Dialysis) is a modified form of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) used to provide slow and continuous dialysis for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or other kidney-related complications. SLED combines elements of intermittent hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy. It offers precise and gentle removal of waste products alongwith excess fluid from the bloodstream over an extended period.
During SLED blood is slowly circulated through a dialysis machine equipped with a special filter that allows for gradual and continuous removal of toxins and fluid. The treatment duration typically ranges from 8 to 12 hours per session. It gives a more gentle and hemodynamically stable approach compared to traditional intermittent hemodialysis.
SLED is particularly beneficial for hemodynamically unstable patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who require renal replacement therapy but may not tolerate conventional hemodialysis due to cardiovascular instability or fluid shifts. The slow and steady nature of SLED helps minimize fluctuations in blood pressure and electrolyte levels, reducing the risk of hemodynamic compromise.
SLED Dialysis is a boon for the patients who are undergoing treatment for various ailments in ICU. Most of the patients who are admitted in ICU have abnormal vital like blood pressure, oxygen saturation, urea, creatinine etc. These patients are not in a condition to tolerate traditional dialysis. SLED Dialysis comes as a perfect solution for them which is gentle and keeps filtering the blood without causing much stress to the body.
Nephrus is one of the best centre in India for the patients of Kidney Disease, Diabetes and Hypertension.

Inorder to maintain vital functions of the body for patients in ICU it is important that they do not get fluid overload or in simple language excessive fluid in lungs which could lead to respiratory distress. Our SLED Dialysis helps such patients getting treatment in ICU.
Other costs involved are the blood and urine tests which the patients will have to undergo every 2-3 months to check the health status of the patient. Kidney dialysis has to be done continuously till the patient is able to find a matching and willing donor from the family for getting kidney transplant surgery done.
