Citrate Pharmacokinetics in Critically Ill Liver Failure Patients Receiving CRRT (Citrate PK)

November 9, 2022 updated by: Nattachai Srisawat ,M.D., Chulalongkorn University
Citrate has been proposed as anticoagulation of choice in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). However, little is known about the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and metabolism of citrate in liver failure patients who require CRRT with regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Acute Liver Failure
Acute liver failure critically ill patients receiving CRRT
Diagnostic test: Pharmacokinetic study
  • Start CVVH session with isotonic citrate solution (13.3 mmol/L) as predilution, targeting citrate dose at 3 mmol/L
  • Blood samples collection at pre-filter for citrate concentration, blood gas, electrolyte and ionized calcium and magnesium
  • In addition, 10 minutes after the end of citrate infusion, blood samples were taken simultaneously from both pre-filter and post-filter to calculate citrate clearance by filter
EXPERIMENTAL: Acute on top Chronic Liver Failure
Acute on top chronic liver failure critically ill patients receiving CRRT
Diagnostic test: Pharmacokinetic study
  • Start CVVH session with isotonic citrate solution (13.3 mmol/L) as predilution, targeting citrate dose at 3 mmol/L
  • Blood samples collection at pre-filter for citrate concentration, blood gas, electrolyte and ionized calcium and magnesium
  • In addition, 10 minutes after the end of citrate infusion, blood samples were taken simultaneously from both pre-filter and post-filter to calculate citrate clearance by filter
