Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how sodium citrate is processed in critically ill patients, especially focusing on those with liver dysfunction.
- The research involved a cohort of both cirrhotic and noncirrhotic patients receiving sodium citrate and calcium chloride infusions, with blood tests conducted to assess how the drug was metabolized.
- Results indicated that cirrhotic patients had a significantly decreased ability to clear citrate compared to noncirrhotic patients, highlighting the importance of considering liver function in the clinical use of citrate, especially for anticoagulation in critically ill scenarios.
