Side effects of sodium citrate for dialysis

The main side effects of Sodium Citrate for Dialysis include hypocalcemia and other symptoms such as convulsions and muscle weakness may occur. The main ingredient of Sodium Citrate for Dialysis is sodium citrate, which is an in vitro anticoagulant that combines with calcium ions in the blood to form a difficult-to-dissociate soluble complex, calcium citrate, thus preventing blood clotting. Usually, under normal dialysis and normal liver function, there is no adverse reaction. If when the dialysis rate is too fast or his or her own hepatic insufficiency exists, because the citrate can not be oxidized in time, it can lead to hypocalcemia, causing convulsions, myocardial contraction inhibition, muscle weakness and other side effects. If patients experience uncomfortable symptoms during the process of dialysis, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals in time for consultation and standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors.
