Citrate Concentrate

Citrate Information

• Sodium Citrate is an anti-congulant which hampers blood clotting
• Citrate in Hemodialysis concentrate reduces the use of Heparin which is responsible for several bleeding episodes in dialysis patients
• Preparation: Powder and Solution form

Advantages

• More effective Dialyzer Reuse as fibers are cleared effectively
• No of Dialyzer Reuse increases upto 60-100%
• No Increased Bleeding Tendency
• Signicantly Less or No Clotting in Patients with Severe Dialyzer Clotting Problems
• Increased URR-> 70%
• Increased Kt/V-> 1.2
• Heparin-free Dialysis in Patients with Bleeding Tendency
• Reduces the Dose of Heparin in Patients of Routine Hemodialysis (~55%)
• Reduced Clotting Time after Dialysis from Needle Exit Sites as Compared to Heparin
• No Thrombocytopenia
