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. 10.1515/CCLM.2006.164. Clin Nephrol. Such early artificial kidney failures are typically related to two processes: circuit clotting and membrane clogging. These presumed abnormalities in hemostasis have been associated with filter clotting during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). 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.

We aimed to characterize the burden of CRRT filter clotting in COVID-19 infection and to describe a CRRT anticoagulation protocol that used anti-factor Xa levels for systemic heparin dosing. The exclusive use of PGs in CVVH (1.5 liters per hour in predilution) provided a rather short circuit survival (median, 15 hours) [66]. Recurrent clotting of the circuit leads to inadequate treatment and loss of circuit blood. 2. Severe clotting was defined as >2 filter losses in 48 hours or one filter loss <8 hours into CRRT.

Effects in the circuit are highest with local administration. It utilises a semi-permeable membrane known as a filter to allow water and certain molecules to pass through the membrane as filtrate, while larger molecules remain behind within the blood. An important issue is locking of the CRRT catheter when not in use by controlled saline infusion or by blocking with heparin or citrate solutions to prevent fibrin adhesion, which slowly reduces lumen diameter [18, 19]. 10.1097/01.CCM.0000055374.77132.4D. 1999, 27: 2224-2228. 2007, 65: 101-108.

Nephrol Dial Transplant. Summary: CRRT circuits' maximum recommended lifespan (72 h) can often not be achieved. This may be explained by the higher ultrafiltration rate, opening more channels and thus increasing the actual surface and the amount of protein adsorbed. Circuit survival with citrate was usually improved (summarized in [9]) [93], sometimes comparable [24, 84, 95], and in some studies shorter than with heparin [89, 94]. PubMed 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]. Results: Sixty-five patients were analyzed, with 17 using the anti-factor Xa protocol to guide systemic heparin dosing whereas 48 were treated with standard of care anticoagulation dosed by PTT .

Pharmacotherapy. CRRT is delivered using sterile fluids, therefore, solutions can be delivered as either dialysis fluid or as replacement fluids into the blood path. Because anticoagulatory strength of the solution depends on the citrate concentration, it is best expressed as molar strength of citrate. Second, hemofiltration is associated with hemoconcentration, occurring as a consequence of ultrafiltration. 2007, 57: 189-197. Increased clotting of CRRT hemofilter leads to reduced time on CRRT and blood loss, worsening the anemia of critical illness and increasing need for blood transfusion.7,8 However, it is unknown if COVID-19 patients with AKI requiring CRRT have increased clotting of CRRT hemofilter compared to patients with septic shock with AKI requiring . 10.1007/s00467-002-0963-6.

CRRT is a much slower type of dialysis than regular HD, as it pulls fluid or cleans the blood continuously, 24 hours a day, rather than over a 2-4 hr treatment. Differences in circuit life between studies can be explained in part by the wide variety of citrate dose (2 to 6 mmol/l blood flow), fixed citrate infusion or citrate dose titrated on postfilter iCa, the use of dialysis or filtration (predilution or postdilution), differences in CRRT dose and filtration fraction, or by a reduction in citrate flow used for control of metabolic alkalosis.

Int J Artif Organs. 2006, 10: 61-65. 2002, 17: 819-824. 2023 Jan;19(1):38-52. doi: 10.1038/s41581-022-00642-4. 10.1093/ndt/gfi069. It is intended to be applied for 24 hours or longer through continuous, slower dialysis. During continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), blood is conducted through an extracorporeal circuit, activating coagulation by a complex interplay of patient and circuit.
