Comparison of citrate dialysate in pre- and post-dilution online hemodiafiltration: effect on clot formation and adequacy of dialysis in hemodialysis patients by Pasu Nakornchai, Arisara Jitraree, Monpinya Charttong Homjan, Thanachit Laykhram, Thananda Trakarnvanich

“…Adequacy of dialysis, laboratory parameters, and quality of life were measured as secondary objectives.Results The mean clotting scores in the pre-dilution mode were significantly lower than those in the post-dilution mode and in all phases except the heparin-free phase (p < 0.001 in the baseline phase, p = 0.001 in phase 1, and p = 0.023 in phase 2). The values of Kt/V in both modalities were comparable except during the baseline phase, in which the values of pre-dilution were significantly greater than post-dilution (2.36 ± 0.52/week vs. 1.87 ± 0.33/week;95% CI −0.81 to −0.19, p = 0.002). …”
