increased by 1.9% ± 0.6% (INR catheter: 2.20 ± 0.16; INR peripheral vein: 2.19 ± 0.16). These results clearly demonstrate that sodium citrate catheter locking minimally interferes with INR measurements when blood is drawn directly from the catheter prior to dialysis treatment. They also demonstrate that the overestimation of INR with heparin locking is more frequent than reported by Grudzinski et al. [1]. Hence, the use of citrate catheter locking improves INR measurement reliability and thus facilitates the management of anticoagulation in HD patients.
