About this trial

Study design A retrospective cohort study will be conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of citrate anticoagulation in CRRT among patients with liver failure/dysfunction and severe shock.

Objectives

1. Primary Objective: To determine if the etiology of liver failure impacts the incidence of citrate-related complications in patients undergoing CRRT. 2. Secondary Objectives: To compare the efficacy of citrate anticoagulation in terms of renal recovery, filter lifespan, and patient survival between those with liver failure/dysfunction and severe shock.
