Clogging Versus Clotting Clogging is caused by: - Increased protein in the plasma which accumulate inside the pores of the membrane until they totally block the pores (e.g. Most information comes from observational and in vitro studies in chronic hemodialysis patients, who need their catheters intermittently and for a much longer time (reviewed in [11]). Citrate is either infused as a separate trisodium citrate solution or added to a calcium-free predilution replacement fluid. J Am Soc Nephrol. endobj This article will focus attention on the components and design of the CRRT circuit, identifying strategies in the literature which may promote circuit life. However, data on the use of LMWH in CRRT are limited [7, 5153]. To continue supporting our physicians and nurses who are on the front lines of managing the influx of critically ill patients, many of whom will develop acute kidney injury (AKI) or experience renal failure during this pandemic, we have consolidated support resources to help . 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]. 10.1111/j.1523-1755.2004.66022.x.

A reliable diagnosis is complicated by the fact that the incidence of a false-positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test is high [58]. 2006, 32: 188-202. 1, 2 CRRT theoretically allows for a smoother and less abrupt renal replacement in these patients. Monitoring with activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is still the best option. The use of r-hirudin is discouraged because of severe adverse events, extremely long half-life (170 to 360 hours), and the requirement of ecarin clotting time for monitoring [60]. endobj J Biomed Mater Res A.

Because the citrate patients often had a higher risk of bleeding, groups are generally not comparable. Systemic anticoagulation interferes with plasmatic coagulation, platelet activation, or both and should be kept at a low dose to mitigate bleeding complications.

Inhibition of platelet activation by PGs appears to be justified because the extracorporeal generation of thrombin and the use of heparin cause platelet activation. None of the proposed systems can attain perfect acid-base control using one standard citrate, replacement, or dialysis solution. 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.

Initiation of clotting in the extracorporeal circuit traditionally has been attributed to contact activation of the intrinsic coagulation system (Figure 1). 2. Both derangements are preventable by adherence to the protocol or are detectable early by strict monitoring. 10.1592/phco.23.6.745.32188. 2002, 87: 163-164. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) exhibit several advantages, including lower incidence of HIT [48], lower AT affinity, less platelet and polymorphonuclear cell activation, less inactivation by platelet factor-4 (PF-4), higher and more constant bioavailability, and lack of metabolic side effects [47, 49, 50]. Some of the solutions contain additional citric acid to reduce sodium load. Membranes with high absorptive capacity generally have a higher tendency to clot.

We found that increased use of anticoagulation is able to overcome the increased risk of CRRT filter clotting in patients with COVID-19, as hemofilter half-life was similar between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients, while the use of systemic heparin was significantly higher in the COVID-19 group.

The choice depends on local availability and monitoring experience. Citrate is partially removed by convection or diffusion and partially enters the systemic circulation, where iCa rises again due to the dilution of extracorporeal blood, the liberation of chelated calcium when citrate is metabolized, and the replacement of calcium. Furthermore, circuits are disconnected because of imminent clotting, protein adsorption to the membrane causing high transmembrane pressures (clogging), or logistic reasons such as transport or surgery.
