Brief summary

A convenience sample of patients receiving regional citrate hemodialyis by means of the Canberra Hospital Protocol are assessed for calcium and citrate flux during dialysis by means of a complete dialysate collection.

Interventions

The calcium in a total spent dialysate is measured by collection into a 200L vessel. The total calcium content in the spent dialysate is subtracted from the calcium infused during during citrate anticoagulation to provide the net amount of calcium retained by the patient (the calcium flux). The dialysate is collected for the duration of the dialysis session (usually 4 hours)
