An Observational Study on the Effects of Nadroparin-Based and Citrate-Based Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration on Calcium Metabolism

Abstract

With a relative low target-serum-iCa (0.8-0.9 mmol/l) citrate CVVH-treated patients had a negative daily calcium balance and a temporarily lower iCa level resulting in an enhanced PTH response in comparison to nadroparin.
