Summary

This study looked at whether adding citrate to the fluid used during dialysis can slow the buildup of calcium in blood vessels. 54 adults on hemodialysis who already had some vessel calcification took part. Each person used both a standard fluid and a citrate fluid for 12 months each, and the researchers measured changes in calcification using mammograms and blood tests.
