Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

Triferic post-dialyzer; UFH via continuous infusion

UFH and Triferic admixture

UFH via continuous infusion pre-dialyzer

Arm Description

Patients will receive Triferic 6.75 mg IV over 3 hours into the post-dialyzer blood line (or drip chamber) administered by an infusion pump. Anti-coagulation will be provided by a bolus of heparin administered into the venous return line immediately prior to the initiation of hemodialysis followed by a continuous infusion of heparin using the on-machine infusion pump. The infusion of heparin to be stopped at hour 3 of hemodialysis.

Patients will receive Triferic 6.75 mg IV plus the appropriate volume of unfractionated heparin for continuous infusion over 3 hours into the pre-dialyzer "heparin line". This mixture will be administered by the on-machine syringe infusion pump for continuous infusion. Anti-coagulation will be provided by a bolus of heparin administered into the venous return line immediately prior to the initiation of hemodialysis followed by a continuous infusion of Triferic + heparin. The infusion of Triferic + heparin will be stopped at hour 3 of hemodialysis.

Patients will receive no Triferic. Anti-coagulation will be provided by a bolus of heparin administered into the venous return line immediately prior to the initiation of hemodialysis followed by a continuous infusion of heparin via the on-machine syringe pump. The infusion of heparin to be stopped at hour 3 of hemodialysis
