Therefore, clinicians search for alternatives such as CRRT without anticoagulation [3538], increasing natural anticoagulants, minimal systemic anticoagulation, or regional anticoagulation. Their mean molecular weight is between 4.5 and 6 kDa, and their mean half-life ranges from 2.5 to 6 hours and is probably even longer in renal insufficiency. 10.1093/ndt/gfi069. <> Kidney Int. -, Cui S, Chen S, Li X, Liu S, Wang F.

Some form of anticoagulation is generally used to maintain filter patency. 2006, 10: R162-10.1186/cc5101. 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).

Gupta M, Wadhwa NK, Bukovsky R: Regional citrate anticoagulation for continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration using calcium-containing dialysate. Its mild impact on hemodynamics and solute clearance rate is preferred for critically ill patients. In critically-ill patients, extracorporeal circuit (ECC) clotting is a frequent complication of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Median first filter survival time was 6.5 [2.5, 33.5] h. There was no difference in first or second filter loss between the anti-Xa protocol and standard of care anticoagulation groups, however fewer patients lost their third filter in the protocolized group (55% vs. 93%) resulting in a longer median third filter survival time (24 [15.1, 54.2] vs. 17.3 [9.5, 35.1] h, p = 0.04). Premature clotting reduces circuit life and efficacy of treatment and increases blood loss, workload, and costs of treatment. Up to now, large randomized controlled trials evaluating the influence of the type of membrane on circuit life during CRRT have been missing. 350 Merrimack St. Nephron. 10.1592/phco.23.6.745.32188.

PubMed Central A high TMP along with a high pressure drop tend to indicate clotting. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is the favoured modality of renal replacement therapy for haemodynamically unstable patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU). The half-life is approximately 35 minutes in chronic dialysis, but longer in the critically ill. Up to now, clinical data in CRRT and availability of the drug have been limited. Because the citrate patients often had a higher risk of bleeding, groups are generally not comparable. Training includes the recognition and early correction of a kinked catheter and the adequate rinsing of the filter before use since blood-air contact activates coagulation [20, 21]. Aim: We aimed to characterize the burden of CRRT filter clotting in patients with COVID-19 infection and to describe a CRRT anticoagulation protocol that used anti-factor Xa levels for systemic heparin dosing. Heparin acts by a 1,000-fold potentiation of antithrombin (AT) to inhibit factors Xa and IIa (thrombin). Google Scholar. One small randomized cross-over study (n = 15) and one study comparing 33 patients on predilution CVVH to 15 historical postdilution controls found longer circuit survival with predilution [25, 26] at the cost of a diminished clearance [26].

The most common anticoagulant options for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) include unfractionated heparin (UFH), regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA), and no anticoagulation. Main determinants are electronegativity of membrane surface and its ability to bind plasma proteins, as well as complement activation, adhesion of platelets, and sludging of erythrocytes [30] (Figure 1).

CRRT and citrate anticoagulation Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has emerged as the preferred dialysis modality for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly those with haemodynamic instability. These presumed abnormalities in hemostasis have been associated with filter clotting during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The right jugular route is the straightest route.

Manipulation of citrate or blood flow, ultrafiltrate, dialysate, or replacement rates, and their mutual relation changes the amount of buffer substrate entering the patient's circulation. 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2007.01.021. 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.

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].

Prevention of clotting is an important factor in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) to ensure that solute clearance, electrolytes and acid base and fluid balance are controlled. Activation of tissue factor, leucocytes, and platelets play an additional role [2]. 1996, 24: 423-429. APM2000 Rev. 2006, 32: 188-202.
