5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficiency and biocompatibility of citrate and heparin anticoagulation during hemodialysis with medium cut-off polyarylethersulphone-polyvinylpirrolidone membrane (Theranova®).
Detailed Description
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficiency and biocompatibility of citrate and heparin anticoagulation during hemodialysis (HD) with PES-PVP membrane. The research will be performed as a prospective clinical trial and will include 35 patients. Every patient will have 2 HD procedures with PES-PVP membrane in a randomized order: 1 with unfractionated heparin (UFH) and 1 with 8% trisodium citrate. We will compare the efficiency of both types of anticoagulation by measuring overall and instantaneous clearances of small, middle and protein-bound molecules (urea, creatinine, phosphate, β2-microglobulin, p-cresol). Biocompatibility will be evaluated by measuring activation of: complement (serum concentration of C3a and C5a), leukocytes (serum concentration of myeloperoxidase) and thrombocytes (serum concentration of PF4). We will also monitor complete blood count for occurrence of leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. After the HD electron microscopy of the membrane will be done in the proportion of included patients to evaluate adsorption of cells and formation of blood clots on the membrane.
