Summary
This study tested a new method to prevent blood clots in the dialysis machine without using heparin, a blood thinner that can increase bleeding risk. The approach uses a special calcium-free fluid with citrate and replaces calcium separately. The study included 97 critically ill patients who needed dialysis and had a moderate to high risk of bleeding. The goal was to see if this method works better than using a special dialysis filter that is designed to reduce clotting.
