Use of tri-sodium citrate in hemodialysis

Point-of-care testing Electrolytes Blood gases/acid-base Creatinine/urea Kidneys/fluids
Hemodialysis and related treatments for those with failing kidneys all involve blood flow through a circuit outside the body. This extracorporeal circuit - the dialysis machine and its connections from and back to the body - is a non-physiological, pro-coagulant environment.
To counter the tendency for patients' blood to clot during flow through this extracorporeal circuit, anticoagulant agents that temporarily inhibit the normal clotting process are employed. Historically, heparin was the only anticoagulant used for this purpose, and whilst it remains the standard mode of anticoagulation, there are alternatives that may be better suited in some circumstances.
Tri-sodium citrate, the focus of this article, is one such alternative. The article will include consideration of the anticoagulant properties of citrate, some detail of how tri-sodium citrate is used to anticoagulate the dialysis pathway, and the advantages of using citrate rather than standard heparin anticoagulation.
