NCT00209378

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare citrate regional anticoagulation with systemic heparinization in continuous venovenous hemofiltration. The investigators' hypothesis is, that regional citrate anticoagulation with replacement solution containing trisodium citrate, will be associated with lower mortality and less bleeding complications compared to heparin, with also a better filter survival.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients admitted on the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) requiring continuous venovenous hemofiltration.
  • No high bleeding risk. A high bleeding risk is defined as a platelet count below 40 x 10\^9/L or APTT of more than 60 seconds or a PT-INR of more than 2.0 or a recent major bleeding or significant active bleeding i.e. requirement for more than two units of packed red blood cells as a transfusion within 24 hours of initiation of CVVH.

You may not qualify if:

  • Less than 18 or over 80 years of age.
  • Patients administered heparin or coumarins for other reasons will also be excluded.
  • Patients with a HIT in known history will also be excluded.
