Lactate Predicts Citrate Accumulation During Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy: incidence, severity, and clinical implications
Highlights
– In a retrospective cohort of 911 critically ill patients receiving regional citrate anticoagulation during continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), citrate accumulation occurred in 159 patients (17%).
– Pre-CKRT arterial lactate outperformed the vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) in predicting citrate accumulation; each one-unit increase in log-transformed lactate raised odds by 2.34 (95% CI 1.94–2.85).
