Safe Use of Citric Acid-Based Dialysate and Heparin Removal in Postdilution Online Hemodiafiltration

Abstract: Background: Anticoagulation of the blood circuit with heparin is essential for hemodialysis, but exposes patients to several risks (bleeding, thrombocytopenia, etc.). The use of citric acid-based dialysate (CitA-D) allows the reduction of heparin in conventional hemodialysis. We evaluated the feasibility of using CitA-D in postdilution online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) and of removing heparin. Methods: We prospectively compared chlorhydric acid-based dialysate with CitA-D in 10 patients treated by OL-HDF. Firs… Show more

“…Some authors suggest a systemic anticoagulant effect with reduced heparin requirements [1,3,4,24], or local [5,25] requirements in the fibers of the dialyzer as the probable cause of the improvement in dialysis efficiency. For other authors, the main reason would be less precipitation of calcium salts (Gunilla Grundstrm, personal conference, 49th EDTA Congress, Paris, 2013).…”

“…Citrate has several advantages over acetate, including local anticoagulant properties that allow a decrease or even removal of anticoagulation for HD, lower peripheral resistance and better blood pressure control during the procedure [6,7,8,9,10]. Another advantage is an increased HD efficiency when citrate dialysate is used [5].…”
