Personalized Two-stage Regional Citrate Anticoagulation for CRRT in Patients With Citrate Metabolism Impairment

Personalized Two-stage Regional Citrate Anticoagulation for CRRT in Patients With Citrate Metabolism Impairment: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of an individualized two-stage calcium supplementation method versus a conventional commercial RCA-CRRT module in RCA-CRRT for patients with citrate metabolism disorders.

Inclusion Criteria:

A. Aged 18 to 80 years, inclusive, male or female; B. Diagnosed with acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease stage 5, and assessed by a physician as requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT); C. Citrate metabolism disorder, including liver failure (acute liver failure, acute-on-chronic liver failure, or decompensated cirrhosis), and/or microcirculation disorder (mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg requiring vasopressor therapy and lactate ≥2 mmol/L); D. The investigator determines that the patient can have a stable vascular access established (the access must be capable of providing a constant and effective blood flow rate >150 ml/min); E. The study participant (subject) and their legal guardian are able to understand the study purpose and provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

A. Received regional citrate anticoagulation therapy within the previous 72 hours; B. Expected to require additional non-protocol calcium supplementation during CRRT due to disease-related needs; C. Requiring arterial-venous reversal of the extracorporeal circuit during CRRT due to poor flow; D. Requiring concurrent peritoneal dialysis during the trial period; E. Participated in or is currently participating in another clinical trial within 1 month prior to the date of signing the informed consent form; F. Expected survival time less than 72 hours; G. Any other conditions that, in the investigator's judgment, make the patient unsuitable for participation in the clinical trial.
