Regional citrate anticoagulation for hemodialysis in patients at risk for bleeding / 中华肾脏病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To solve the hemodialysis in patients at risk for bleeding. Methods A 1.6 mol/L trisodium citrate solution, a standard calcium-containing bicarbonate dialysate and a standard hollow fiber capillary dialyzer were used. Results 72 dialysis were performed successfully with this technique on 6 stable and 17 high bleeding risk patients. Systemic anticoagulation didn't occur as a result of any dialysis procedure, and in no instance bleeding was observed. No severe dialyzer clotting was observed. There was a significant decline in whole blood ionized calcium during citrate dialysis (0.981?0.11 vs 0.907 ?0.12 mmol/L, P
