Citrate dosing calculator

Calculates a starting citrate rate and the associated calcium replacement based on blood flow and target citrate concentration.

Placeholder formula. The calculation used here is for illustration only. Before any clinical use, it must be replaced with the validated calculation scheme of your center or device software and cross-checked. Not suitable for clinical use in its current form.

Blood flow (Qb) — ml/min

Citrate solution concentration — mmol/l

Target citrate dose — mmol/l of blood flow

Calcium replacement factor — mmol Ca per mmol citrate

Citrate infusion rate — ml/h Estimated calcium replacement rate — mmol/h

These values are starting points for fine titration based on measured ionized calcium in the filter circuit and systemically.
