Magnesium Kinetics During Citrate-Anticoagulated CRRT
Total and Ionized Magnesium Kinetics During Citrate-Anticoagulated Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy
The goal of this observational study is to assess how continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), a type of dialysis used in critically ill patients, affects magnesium levels in adults treated in intensive care units (ICUs). The study focuses on CRRT using citrate, a substance that prevents blood clotting in the dialysis circuit. Participants will receive CRRT with citrate as part of their routine medical care.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
How does citrate affect the amount of free (ionized) magnesium in the blood How much magnesium is removed by the dialysis circuit during treatment? How do magnesium levels in the blood change over time during treatment? How does treatment affect calcium and phosphate levels and what changes occur in the body's acid-base balance and metabolism?
Researchers will:
Measure magnesium, calcium and phosphate levels in blood and dialysis circuit fluid samples collected before and during treatment, for up to 72 hours.
Measure additional blood markers to assess changes in metabolism and acid-base balance.
Record dialysis treatment settings and fluid flow rates.
The collected measurements will be used to better understand how magnesium and other electrolytes are affected during CRRT with citrate.

Descrizione dettagliata
Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) is frequently used during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) to prevent blood clotting within the extracorporeal circuit. Citrate works by binding ionized calcium, thereby inhibiting the coagulation cascade. However, citrate also binds ionized magnesium, which may affect magnesium levels and contribute to magnesium losses during treatment. Previous studies have reported magnesium losses during CRRT with RCA but most have focused on total magnesium concentrations. The effects of citrate on ionized magnesium, the biologically active fraction of magnesium, remain less well understood.
The primary objective of this prospective observational study is to characterize magnesium kinetics during CRRT with RCA by repeated measurements of both total and ionized magnesium concentrations in the patient's blood and at different locations within the extracorporeal circuit. The study will investigate citrate-associated magnesium binding, magnesium transport across the dialysis filter, magnesium mass balance within the circuit and changes in systemic magnesium concentrations over time.
Secondary objectives are to characterize calcium and phosphate kinetics during treatment and to explore associated changes in acid-base balance and metabolic parameters.
Approximately 35 adult patients receiving CRRT with RCA as part of routine clinical care at three intensive care units (ICUs), one in Sweden and two in Iceland. Eligible patients will be those receiving continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) using the PrisMax system and an ST150 hemofilter. All treatment decisions, including citrate administration, dialysis settings, and fluid management, will follow routine clinical practice and will not be altered by the study. Study-specific sampling will continue for up to 72 hours or until the ongoing CRRT circuit is discontinued, whichever occurs first.
Blood samples will be collected before treatment initiation and at 2, 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment begins. Systemic blood samples will be obtained from the patient's arterial line, while additional samples will be collected from the pre-filter and post-filter blood sampling ports and from the effluent fluid of the extracorporeal circuit. Total and ionized magnesium and calcium concentrations, as well as phosphate concentrations, will be measured to assess changes over time and calculate electrolyte transport and balance within the circuit. Additional systemic blood measurements will be performed before treatment and at 24, 48, and 72 hours to assess metabolic and acid-base responses. Dialysis treatment parameters, such as blood flow, citrate dose, treatment fluid flow rates and fluid removal, will also be recorded.
By combining repeated measurements of total and ionized magnesium with measurements across the extracorporeal circuit, this study aims to improve understanding of magnesium handling during CRRT with RCA. The findings may help determine whether monitoring total magnesium alone adequately reflects changes in ionized magnesium and provide further insight into electrolyte and metabolic changes during treatment.
