21 Conclusions " In patients potentially at risk of metabolic complications (septic shock patients, liver failure) regional citrate anticoagulation demonstrated a good metabolic tolerance. " Metabolic tolerance of citrate was most likely due to a low blood flow, a marked loss of citrate in effluent volume and subsequent low total citrate patient load. " In septic shock patients with liver dysfunction, the routine determination of citrate may be a useful tool in guiding the clinical application of citrate anticoagulation in RRT. " Concerning the costs of direct automated citrate determinations instead of total/ionized calcium ratio for monitoring citrate dialysis, they increased from 2.96 to 3.51 euro. These costs are irrelevant and do not take into account the costs saved due to potential extended use of citrate anticoagulation.
