This multicenter randomized controlled trial the safety and efficacy of personalized two-phase regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) during prolonged intermittent kidney replacement therapy (PIKRT) in critically ill patients.

We conducted this study across five Chinese hospitals from December 2023 to April 2025. A total of 144 patients with acute or chronic kidney failure requiring PIKRT were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either personalized RCA or conventional RCA using the Fresenius Ci-Ca protocol. The primary outcome was the non-intervention rate (proportion of measurements with post-filter ionized calcium 0.25-0.40 mmol/L and systemic ionized calcium 0.95-1.35 mmol/L). 

71 patients per group completed the study. The personalized two-phase RCA group achieved a higher non-intervention rate (96.9% vs 87.1%; p<0.01) and target attainment rate (78.4% vs 61.1%; p<0.01) with reduced hypocalcemia incidence (14.1% vs 50.7%; p<0.01, Table 1). Notably, 77.5% of intervention patients required no citrate or calcium adjustments versus 23.9% in controls (p<0.01), with personalized RCA demonstrating a two-phase calcium supplementation pattern that minimized ionized calcium fluctuations(Figure 1). Filter lifespan, circuit clotting grade, acid-base status and serum sodium levels showed no significant intergroup differences.Deviation rates for both citrate and calcium infusion consistently remained below 5%.

The pharmacokinetic-driven personalized two-phase RCA protocol demonstrates non-inferiority to conventional RCA controls, while exhibiting advantages in reducing intervention requirements and optimizing ionized calcium stability. Further validation of its clinical superiority requires large-scale multicenter randomized controlled trials.
