Abstract: Systemic anticoagulation (AC) can increase the bleeding risk in CRRT. However, regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) is a valid alternative to heparin (Hep) in patients at high risk of bleeding. The aim was to evaluate efficacy and safety of RCA-CVVH using a low-concentration citrate (Citr) solution.
