Can regional anticoagulation with calcium-free dialysate be extended to maintenance hemodialysis?

Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research

Regional anticoagulation in hemodialysis avoids the use of heparin, which is responsible for both hemorrhagic and non-hemorrhagic complications. Typically, blood is decalcified by injecting citrate into the arterial line of the extracorporeal circuit. Calcium-free dialysate improves anticoagulation efficacy but requires injection of a calcium-containing solution into the venous line and strict monitoring of blood calcium levels. Recent improvements have made regional anticoagulation with calcium-free dialysate safer and easier.

(1) Adjusting the calcium injection rate to ionic dialysance avoids the risk of dyscalcemia, thus making unnecessary the monitoring of blood calcium levels. This adjustment could be carried out automatically by the hemodialysis monitor. (2) As calcium-free dialysate reduces the amount of citrate required, this can be supplied by dialysate obtained from currently available concentrates containing citric acid. This avoids the need for citrate injection and the risk of citrate overload. (3) Calcium-free dialysate no longer needs the dialysate acidification required for avoiding calcium carbonate precipitation in bicarbonate-containing dialysate.

Regional anticoagulation with calcium-free dialysate enables an acid- and heparin-free procedure that is more biocompatible and environmentally friendly than conventional bicarbonate hemodialysis. The availability of specific acid-free concentrates and adapted hemodialysis monitors is required to extend this procedure to maintenance hemodialysis.
