bleeding and clotting hemodialysis
Conditions
Interventions
Regional citrate dialysis with calcium- and magnesium-free citrate dialysis
fluid.
The dialysis fluid is produced by mixing 9.75 liters of a Ca-, Mg-free, 3,0

Exclusion criteria: Inability to give informed consent. Hemodialysis patients who have unstable dialysis sessions i.e. hypotensive periods, muscular cramps or patients who have an increased risk of these afflictions.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary study objective: Does RCA prevent the increased anticoagulation in the patient as seen with LMWH? Primary outcome: The RCA as proposed prevents a change in TEG in the patient during and after the dialysis session as seen in conventional anticoagulation with LMWH. Due to the small number of observations, hard endpoints like clinical relevant bleeds or the number of blood transfusions will seldom occur. Therefore, these are not used as primary outcome points. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study objectives: 1. Does RCA cause an anticoagulation of the extracorporeal system comparable to LMWH? 2. Are serum Ca- and Mg-values after dialysis comparable to those with a conventional anticoagulation with LMWH and a 1.5 and 0.75 mmil/l containing dialysis fluid? The secondary endpoints: 1. During the proposed RCA clotting necessitating termination of the treatment session does not happen more frequently compared to LMWH. The number of signs of clotting in the extracorporeal system is not more frequent in the proposed RCA compared to LMWH. 2. The proposed RCA does not result in a rise in APTT ratio and increase thrombin time in the patient during and after a dialyse session, compared to conservative anticoagulantia with LMWH 3. The serum values of Ca and Mg are similar in both methods. | — |
