Bleeding, Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, Hyperlactatemia
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this single center, randomized, control, open-labeled study is to evaluate the effect and safety of RCA versus no anticoagulation for CRRT in hyperlactatemia patients with increased bleeding risk.
Detailed description
For continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) patients with shock and muscle hypoperfusion, which characterised by tissue hypoxia and hyperlactatemia, the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KIDIGO) guideline recommended no use of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) considering the potential increased citrate accumulation (CA) risk. In the condition of increased bleeding, no-anticoagulation was recommended for these patients. However, CRRT processed without anticoagulation was proved to be associated with shorter filter lifespan. Therefore, the purpose of this single center, randomized, control, open-labeled study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RCA versus no-anticoagulation for CRRT in hyperlactatemia patients with increased bleeding risk.
Interventions
Regional citrate anticoagulation Sodium citrate (4%) infusion before the filter in order to maintain post-filter ionCa2+ level between 0.25 to 0.35 mmol/L. Calcium gluconate supplementary after the filter to maintain serum ionCa2+ level between 1.0 to 1.2 mmol/L.
Patients accepted no-anticoagulation CRRT. Blood flow 200 ml/h. The replacement fluid was infused 50% predilution and 50% post-dilution.
