Comparison of Biocompatibility and Efficacy of Regional Citrate Anticoagulation and Unfractionated Heparin During Expanded Hemodialysis With a Medium Cut‐Off Membrane—A Randomized Trial

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In a randomized cross‐over trial, regional citrate anticoagulation provided superior biocompatibility over full‐dose unfractionated heparin during expanded hemodialysis with significantly lower activation of complement, granulocytes, and platelets without affecting dialysis efficiency. ABSTRACT Background Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) improves
