CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

The major factors contributing the growth of continuous renal replacement therapy market is rising incidence of chronic kidney disease, which is a major risk factor for diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and inflammatory disease of the kidney called glomerulonephritis. According to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2014, around 200 million people were diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, which may lead to the complete loss of renal failure or kidney injury and can also result in end stage renal disease if left untreated. Thereby, requiring continuous renal replacement therapy. The other factors driving the growth of continuous renal replacement therapy market are rise in the number of acute kidney injury cases and other technological advancements in the field of pediatric, such as Cardio-Renal Pediatric Dialysis Emergency Machine (CARPEDIUM) for the treatment of acute kidney injury in small infants. However, reimbursement, procedural costs, and high complexity of continuous renal replacement therapy, and dearth of trained nurses are the factors that are restraining the growth of continuous real replacement therapy market.
