Brief Summary

One of the main RRT issues is anticoagulation of the ECC, because blood contact with biomaterials causes bio-incompatibility reactions, including activation of the coagulation cascade. Based on Regional Citrate Anticoagulation (RCA) protocols, an ionized calcium (Ca-ion) concentration around 0.25 to 0.35mmol / L prevents fibrino formation and allows anticoagulation for the ECC. During RCA, metabolic side effects may occur due to systemic flow of citrate. Our postulate is that reduction of ionized calcemia related to the use of a calcium-free dialysate and haemofilter performance makes it possible to avoid citrate infusion. Our study aim to compare intermittent RRT using 4% Citrate infusion and without Citrate.
