Regional anticoagulation for CRRT using citrate — the preferred option in bleeding-risk ICU patients.
Citrate chelates calcium in the extracorporeal circuit, preventing clotting without systemic heparin. It extends filter life and reduces bleeding and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia risk. Calcium is infused systemically to compensate; calcium and acid-base monitoring are required.
Slow, continuous kidney replacement for critically ill ICU patients — gentler than intermittent hemodialysis.
A medical procedure that filters waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood using a dialysis machine when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately.
A sudden drop in kidney function over hours to days - reversible if caught early, but a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease.
