Citrate supplementation of PD fluid: effects on net ultrafiltration and clearance of small solutes in single dwells

摘要

Anti-inflammatory additives like heparin and sodium citrate have shown favourable results in these respects. The present study is the first to evaluate citrate-supplemented PD fluids (PDFs) in humans.
