  • Standard citrate versus sequential citrate/anticoagulant-free anticoagulation during hemodyalisis : a randomized trial
    Buturović-Ponikvar, Jadranka ...
    In a randomized study, sequential anticoagulation for hemodialysis (citrate for the first 3.5 h, switching to 30-min anticoagulation-free hemodialysis) was compared to standard citrate ... anticoagulation. Fifty-two hemodialysis procedures were randomized either to sequential (n = 27) or standard citrate group (n = 25). The antithrombotic effect in the circuit was visually assessedafter hemodialysis using a score from 1 (total clotting) to 5 (no clotting). The antitbrombotic score for sequential versus standard group was as follows: dialyzer, 4.0 +- 1.1 versus 4.8 +- 0.4 (P < 0.07 ); arterial bubble trap, 4.0 +- 1.2 versus 4.7 +- 0.6 (P = 0.013); venous bubble trap, 4.0+- 1.3 versus 4.8 +- 0.6 (P < 0.01). Serum citrate levels during sequentialversus standard citrate anticoagulation (`mol/L) were as follows: atthe beginning, 143+- 65 versus 148 +- 77 (not significant (NSđ); after 2 h, 317 `- 157 versus 354 +- 111 (NS); at the end, 125 +- 81 versus 405 +- 133 (P < 0.01). Sequential anticoagulation reduces the final serum citrate concentration to predialysis level. It can be a good anticoagulation strategy for patients in whom the reduction of citrate load is desired.
