Influence of citrate concentration on the activation of blood cells in an in vitro dialysis setup.
BackgroundRegional citrate anticoagulation has been associated with enhanced biocompatibility in hemodialysis, but the optimal dose of citrate remains to be established.Here, we compared parameters related to cellular activation during Food in vitro dialysis, using two doses of citrate.MethodsHuman whole blood, anticoagulated with either 3 mM or 4
