First seen May 08, 2026 ยท Last updated May 08, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether adding a citrate-based anticoagulant to standard heparin can reduce clotting in the kidney replacement circuit for patients on heart-lung bypass (ECMO). 18 adults with severe lung and kidney failure were enrolled. The goal was to see if the combined approach keeps the kidney circuit working longer without increasing bleeding risks.
