Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to achieve anticoagulation (i.e. an ionized calcium concentration of about 0.3 mM (0.2-0.5 mM) in the extracorporeal circuit during the novel citrate therapy.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are: 1. Maintain calcium homeostasis during the CRRT treatment 2. Maintain physiological levels of calcium and magnesium and avoid acid-base disturbances 3. To investigate plasma levels of citrate with the present treatment ;Primary end point(s): The anticoagulation effect will be assessed by measuring if achieving ionized calcium concentration of about 0.3 mM (0.2-0.5 mM) in the extracorporeal circuit during the novel citrate therapy.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Continuous during the 5 hours of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Evaluation of maintained calcium homeostasis during the CRRT treatment by measuring ionized and total calcium concentrations. Evaluation of maintained magnesium concentration during the CRRT treatment by measuring total magnesium concentration. Evaluation of acid-base balance from blood gas analysis. Investigation of plasma levels of citrate by measuring citrate concentration.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Continuous during the 5 hours of treatment
