For continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) patients with shock and muscle hypoperfusion, which characterised by tissue hypoxia and hyperlactatemia, the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KIDIGO) guideline recommended no use of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) considering the potential increased citrate accumulation (CA) risk. In the condition of increased bleeding, no-anticoagulation was recommended for these patients. However, CRRT processed without anticoagulation was proved to be associated with shorter filter lifespan. Therefore, the purpose of this single center, randomized, control, open-labeled study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RCA versus no-anticoagulation for CRRT in hyperlactatemia patients with increased bleeding risk.
