NCT ID:
NCT01394458
Brief Summary:
Currently in Canada, either 4% sodium citrate or heparin 1,000-10,000 U/ml solutions are "locked" into hemodialysis catheters between dialysis sessions to prevent thrombosis. The use of an ethanol/sodium citrate locking solution may have advantages over either of these agents alone. The investigators hypothesize that the 30 % ethanol/4% sodium citrate catheter locking solution is safe and effective in the prevention of catheter-related infections and thrombosis.
Detailed Description:
The pilot study will utilize a prospective, randomized design. After meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria and providing written informed consent, patients will be randomly assigned to a 30 % ethanol/ 4% sodium citrate locking solution or heparin 1000 U/ml. Patients will be enrolled from the Health Sciences Centre and the Sherbrook Dialysis Units in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
