Anticoagulation of the extracorporeal circuit is usually required to prevent its clotting during renal replacement therapy. However, anticoagulants may cause significant bleeding and critically ill patients are at increased risk of it. This article analyses the implementation, efficacy and safety of anticoagulation strategies in renal replacement therapy in the critical care setting and gives a summary of the causes of extracorporeal circuit blood clotting.

Keywords: anticoagulation; renal replacement therapy; critically ill
