NCT05188339

Brief Summary

Studies that used a dilute citrate formulation (4%) demonstrated efficacy as an anticoagulant with minimal to no risk of bleeding in HD sessions. This study will compare effectiveness and safety utilizing 4% sodium citrate vs. heparin as a lock solution in central venous hemodialysis catheter among hemodialysis patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • central venous catheter exchanges

    We will record the episode of central venous catheter malfunction and central venous catheter exchanges within the period of trial and compare the incidence between two arms.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • events of thrombolytic drug use, bacteremia and all-cause hospitalization days.

    3 months

Study Arms (2)

4% sodium citrate group

EXPERIMENTAL

Dose of 4% sodium citrate is also according to catheter lumen (LVR) instilled into each lumen of catheter after HD session, eg. 1.6 cc/lumen for LV R 1.6, 1.8 cc/lumen for LVR 1.8.

Drug: 4% sodium citrate

heparin group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Heparin dosage is based on volume ratio in catheter lumen (LVR) after each HD session, eg. 8000u/lumen in 1.6 LVR, 9000u/lumen in LVR 1.8.

Drug: heparin group

Interventions

Dose of 4% sodium citrate is also according to catheter lumen (LVR) instilled into each lumen of catheter after HD session, eg. 1.6 cc/lumen for LV R 1.6, 1.8 cc/lumen for LVR 1.8. A prospective, open label, control study. The content of study protocol will be posted in the HD room in the Kaohsiung Chang Gung memorial Hospital, Taiwan. After inform consent obtained, we will categorize enrolled participants randomly into two groups, 4% sodium citrate group(experimental group), heparin group(control group), respectively. The study duration is three months.
