Study acronymLCAT study
Study objectives1. Assessment of the safety and efficacy of regional citrate anticoagulation during continuous veno-venous haemodialysis (CVVHD) using multiFiltrate with the Ci-Ca System®
2. Investigation of the impact of liver failure on safety, efficacy and dosing schemes of this procedure
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of Charité - University Medicine Berlin (Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin), 27/07/2007, ref: EA1/101/07

Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Main end-points for the safety evaluation is the occurrence of citrate metabolic complications (hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, alkalosis, acidosis).

For the efficacy evaluation main end-points are: the percentage of functioning filters after 72 treatment hours and post-filter ionized calcium.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

No secondary outcome measures
