Testing citrate blood-thinning during kidney dialysis in adults
This study tests how safe a specific blood thinner called “citrate” is when used during continuous kidney dialysis (CRRT) for people with AKI or kidney failure. If you qualify, your care team will compare citrate safety against standard approaches to see if it’s tolerable and safe.
