"I just remember he was suffering from a life-threatening arrhythmia, attributed to the potassium levels. And he was too unstable for normal dialysis.

DR. AYCINENA DISCUSSES HIS EXPERIENCE WITH CRRT FOR PATIENT WITH MANTLE CELL LYMPHOMA

I think the (CRRT) combined with the chemotherapy really made a difference."
