Citrate is used as a regional anticoagulant for continuous veno-venous haemofiltration and provides 0.59 kcal/mmol. Previous studies hypothesised continuous veno-venous haemofiltration can provide 200-1300 kcal/day dependent on the anticoagulant and replacement solutions used. The aim of this study was to calculate the calorie load from citrate in our patient group.
