Stability of citrate and calcium dosing in citrate renal replacement therapy

چکیده
Introduction Citrate is the recommended anticoagulant for continuous renal replacement therapy (RRT) [1], and is thought to confer numerous benefits, including more continuous hours of filtration, fewer total circuits used, less overall cost and maybe improved patient and kidney survival when compared with heparin anticoagulation [2]. Citrate is run pre filter, calcium is infused post filter, the rates of both determined by the filter and patient ionised calcium level respectively. This is monitored by blood tests, which must be sampled frequently. Filter and patient ionised calcium levels, citrate and calcium infusion rates, are recorded as part of clinical practice at RSCH. The target plasma ionised calcium concentration is 1.0 1.2mM, the target filter ionised calcium concentration is 0.25 0.5mM.

Simplified Citrate Anticoagulation for CRRT Without Calcium Replacement
Since 2012, citrate anticoagulation is the recommended anticoagulation strategy for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The main drawback using citrate as anticoagulant compared with heparin is the need for calcium replacement and the rigorous control of calcium levels. This study investigated the possibility to achieve anticoagulation while eliminating the need for calcium replacement...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Recent updates to the Nikkiso Aquarius continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) platform allowed us to develop a post-dilution protocol for regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) using standard bicarbonate buffered, calcium containing replacement solution with acid citrate dextrose formula-A as a citrate source. Our objective was to demonstrate that the protocol was safe and ...
متن کاملRegional citrate anticoagulation in critically ill patients treated with plasma filtration and adsorption.
BACKGROUND In high-risk bleeding conditions conventional systemic anticoagulation with heparin is a contraindication to renal replacement therapy. We evaluate the feasibility and safety of regional citrate anticoagulation in high-risk bleeding conditions during coupled plasma filtration adsorption (CPFA). METHODS Thirteen critically ill patients (9 severely burned, 4 polytraumas) with septic ...
متن کاملThe gap between calculated and actual calcium substitution during citrate anticoagulation in an immobilised patient on renal replacement therapy reflects the extent of bone loss – a case report
BACKGROUND Demineralisation and bone density loss during immobilisation are known phenomena. However information concerning the extent of calcium loss during immobilisation remains inconsistent within literature. This may explain why treatment of bone loss and prevention of further demineralisation is often initiated only when spontaneous bone fracture occurred.Continuous renal replacement ther...
متن کاملOptimizing citrate dose for regional anticoagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy: measuring citrate concentrations instead of ionized calcium?
Regular measurement of systemic and post-filter ionized calcium (iCa) concentrations is imperative to correctly handle regional citrate anticoagulation dose during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Keeping post-filter iCa within a tight range guarantees optimal circuit function and enhances filter life span [1, 2], whereas a decrease in plasma iCa, with subsequent elevation of the to...
