Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific title
Study objectivesReduction of heparin dose in acute renal failure treated with hemodiafiltration.
Ethics approval(s)Local research ethics committee, Göteborg, Sweden. Date of approval: 17/12/2007 (Dnr. 576-07)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute renal failure/ fluid overload
InterventionThe same dialysis membrane, AN69ST, will be used for both the intervention and control treatment. Two different heparinization strategies will be compared:

Control group (usual heparin doses): Bolus at start (between 1,000 IU - 2,500 IU) + usual infusion dose (10 IU/kg/h)
Intervention group (Reduction of heparin dose): No bolus at start + infusion decreased by 50% (5 IU/kg/h)
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Filter lifespan, defined as the time period between patient's connection and filter disconnection due to filter clotting.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Adverse events, monitored for up to 24 days of treatment

Completion date01/01/2010

Target sample size at registration44
Key inclusion criteria1. Patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT)
2. Aged 18 and over
3. Patients weighing 30-120 kg
4. Patients having signed a written consent to participate in the study
Key exclusion criteria1. History of heparin antibodies or heparin-induces thrombocytopenia
2. Known hypertensive to any dialysis membrane
3. Current enrolment in another trial which could impact the successful completion of this study
4. Patients under guardianship
5. Patient anticipated to require transportation outside the unit for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures in the coming first week .These patients can eventually be included in a later more stable phase
6. Unconscious patients for whom no relative or person of trust can give consent to treatment. In the absence of any relative or person of trust, the patient in question cannot be included in the study
7. Patient requiring anticoagulation for other indications e.g., valvular surgery or extracorporeal ventricular assist devices
8. Patients with active bleeding who does not require heparinization
