Brief summary

We want to test the hypothesis, 4 hr online predilution HDF with Citrasate is possible to be realized without manifest clotting problems even with no anticoagulation therapy. As a secondary outcome we want to describe coagulation cascade activation based on TAT concentration during this HDF procedure.

Interventions

In a random order patients undergo one 4 hr procedure of online predilution hemodiafiltration with acetic acid or citrate acid (Citrasate) concentrate respectively. In two weeks and in a cross-over manner they undergo the second study procedure with citrate or acetic acid respectively. Citrate concentration in Citrasate is 0,8 mmol/l.
