Fifty-four out of 65 patients (83%) lost at least one filter.

An important issue is locking of the CRRT catheter when not in use by controlled saline infusion or by blocking with heparin or citrate solutions to prevent fibrin adhesion, which slowly reduces lumen diameter [18, 19].

Non-anticoagulation measures include optimization of vascular access (inner diameter, pattern of flow, and position), CRRT settings (partial predilution and individualized control of filtration fraction), and the training of nurses. Citric acid enters the mitochondria and is metabolized in the Krebs cycle, mainly in the liver but also in skeletal muscle and the renal cortex, leaving sodium bicarbonate.

Postfilter iCa can be used for fine tuning of the level of anticoagulation, aiming at a concentration of iCa of less than 0.35 mmol/l (Table 1). It utilises a semi-permeable membrane known as a filter to allow water and certain molecules to pass through the membrane as filtrate, while larger molecules remain behind within the blood. The process is still incompletely understood, but interplay between the protein constitution of plasma, rheological characteristics of blood, capillary and transmembrane flow, membrane characteristics, and possibly the use of different resuscitation fluids influence this process [10, 27]. 17 0 obj Swartz R, Pasko D, O'Toole J, Starmann B: Improving the delivery of continuous renal replacement therapy using regional citrate anticoagulation.

Although some studies use LMWH in a fixed dose [7, 52], continuous intravenous application of LMWH, aiming at systemic anti-FX levels of 0.25 to 0.35 U/ml, may be the safest option [53].

Inhibition of platelet activation by PGs appears to be justified because the extracorporeal generation of thrombin and the use of heparin cause platelet activation. 10.1016/j.jcrc.2005.01.001. The strength of citrate solutions is generally expressed as a percentage (grams of trisodium citrate per 100 ml). 1993, 70: 554-561. Other reasons for premature clotting related to the CRRT technique are repeated stasis of blood flow [5], hemoconcentration, turbulent blood flow, and blood-air contact in air-detection chambers [6]. 1998, 64: 83-87.

During this therapy, a patient's blood passes through a special filter that removes fluid and uremic toxins, returning clean blood to the body. This may or may not lead to platelet activation and consumption, thrombocytopenia, and both arterial and venous thrombosis. HIT is caused by a heparin-induced antibody that binds to the heparin-PF-4 complex on the platelet surface. Its major advantages are the low costs, ease of administration, simple monitoring, and reversibility with protamine [9, 45].

An elevated TMP can be a sign of either clotting (small blood clots forming in your filter) or of clogging (larger particles that you are filtering out of the blood blocking the pores of your filter).

Therefore, improving circuit life is clinically relevant. Low levels of AT decrease heparin activity and are associated with premature clotting of the circuit [3, 39, 40]. 10.1097/00003246-200104000-00010. CRRT is a type of blood purification therapy used with patients who are experiencing AKI. However, fewer patients in the protocol group lost their third filter (55% vs. 93%) resulting in a longer median third filter survival time (24 [15.1, 54.2] vs. 17.3 [9.5, 35.1] hours, p = 0.04), Figure 1. 10.1093/ndt/gfl606. 2007, 22: 471-476. eCollection 2020 Dec 31.
