Background: Citrate anticoagulation is an important anticoagulation method in hemodialysis (HD) but cannot completely prevent the occurrence of coagulation in the extracorporeal circulation (ECC) circuit, and the clinical coagulation status can significantly affect the effect of citrate anticoagulation. In this study, the relationships between clinical coagulation status indicators and coagulation in the ECC circuit in HD patients receiving individualized citrate anticoagulant were studied to explore indicators that may predict coagulation in the ECC circuit.
Methods: This study was a single-center, retrospective clinical study, and clinical data and laboratory tests related to the coagulation status of HD patients receiving individualized regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) were collected.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an individualized regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) protocol for hemodialysis.
Methods: In this single-center, retrospective study, blood coagulation in the extracorporeal circulation, adverse reactions, in vivo ionized calcium (iCa) concentrations, and the infusion dose of citrate during RCA in hemodialysis were observed in 98 patients from February 2021 to March 2022.
Results: A total of 98 patients underwent RCA during hemodialysis 362 times, and blood coagulation occurred in the extracorporeal circulation 29 times.
Objective: To investigate non-anticoagulant factors that affect blood coagulation in the extracorporeal circulation (ECC) circuit of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) protocol for hemodialysis (HD).
Method: The clinical characteristics of patients undergoing an individualized RCA protocol for HD between February 2021 and March 2022 were collected; Coagulation scores, pressures in various parts of the ECC circuit, the incidence of coagulation, and citrate concentrations in the ECC circuit during treatment were determined, and non-anticoagulant factors affecting coagulation in the ECC circuit were analyzed.
Result: The lowest clotting rate was 2.
