NCT02281045

Brief Summary

It is not known whether the combination of a heparin-grafted membrane plus citrate-containing dialysate is a valid alternative to regional citrate anticoagulation. This is a cross-over non-inferiority trial comparing these two anticoagulation strategies

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Patency of hemodialysis circuit

    Completion of 4h dialysis session without circuit clotting that requires early treatment interruption

    20 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Clotting of dialyser after the rinse

    20 weeks

Study Arms (2)

EVODIAL dialyzer and Selectbag citrate

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention for anticoagulation during dialysis: Combination of Heparin-coated AN69ST membrane (EVODIAL, Gambro-Hospal, Meyzieu, France) and citrate-containing dialysate (Selectbag citrate, Gambro, Lund, Sweden).

Device: EVODIAL dialyzer and Selectbag citrate

Regional citrate anticoagulation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Regional citrate anticoagulation, using a hypertonic sterile solution of trisodium citrate dihydrate (1.035 Mol/L, Baxter, Lessines, Belgium), infused into the afferent blood line. Citrate will be infused at a rate of 62.1 mM/h (60 mL/h). The anticoagulant effect of citrate will be neutralized using calcium containing dialysate (Ca 1.50 mmol/L). Dialysate sodium content will be set at 135 mEQ/L, and bicarbonate will be reduced to 25 mEq/L.

Device: Regional citrate anticoagulation

Interventions

Evodial is a trademark of Hospal-Gambro.

EVODIAL dialyzer and Selectbag citrate

Regional citrate anticoagulation is performed according to local practice, using a calcium-containing dialysate
