The locking anticoagulant plays a decisive role in the patency of central venous catheters (CVCs) used for haemodialysis. During injection, the hydraulic effects inevitably cause lock solution to spill into the systemic circulation. Density differences between whole blood (WB) and the lock solution cause further gravity-induced seepage of lock solution. This is followed by an influx of WB into the catheter, also described for trisodium citrate, which is a common agent for serum protein precipitation. Embolic complications from haemodialysis catheters locked with hypertonic trisodium citrate have been reported. We aimed to investigate protein precipitation in trisodium citrate locked catheters as a possible cause of pulmonary embolisms.

Trisodium citrate induced protein precipitation in haemodialysis catheters might cause pulmonary embolism
