Abstract: Continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT) technique is one of the important means of organ support in critical care medicine. Due to its treatment time is significantly longer than intermittent hemodialysi, the requirement for anticoagulation is even more. This paper reviews the current application status of commonly used anticoagulant in CRRT. At present, unfractionated heparin(UFH) remains one of the most commonly used anticoagulant method for domestic CRRT, but its adverse reactions should be paid attention, mainly including high incidence rate of bleeding, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia(HIT), heparin resistance, etc. Compared with heparin, the rate of low molecular weight heparins(LMWH) caused bleeding complications is lower, but the dose is difficult to control and the monitoring method is complex, which limits its wide use. Regional citrate anticoagulation(RCA) is one of the important and promising anticoagulant Methods for CRRT because it's easy to use, and has been testified to extend the life of the filter without systemic anticoagulation danger. In recent years, standardized solution of RCA and preflush formula become a hot spot in the field of citrate anticoagulation.
