Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration using a Phosphate-Containing Replacement Fluid in the Setting of Regional Citrate Anticoagulation

Abstract

Although needing further evaluation, the proposed RCA-CVVH protocol ensured a safe and effective RCA without electrolyte and/or acid-base derangements. CRRT-induced hypophosphatemia was prevented in most of the patients by the adoption of a phosphate-containing replacement solution, minimizing phosphate supplementation needs.
