Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) is currently the preferred method of anticoagulating the extracorporeal circuit used in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
The citrate solution is infused into the blood before the filter and a residual amount circulates back into the patients bloodstream prior to metabolism by the liver.
At present, no consensus exists as to the ultimate metabolic fate of the infused citrate.
In this study, participants undergoing CRRT using RCA will have blood collected once before commencement of CRRT, then once a day for the duration of their CRRT or for five days, which ever occurs first and then once the day after cessation of their CRRT.
These samples will be analysed to ascertain both the plasma concentration of citrate as well as the potential metabolic products.
Participants will be monitored according to standard ICU protocols during treatment.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 319715 0
Measurement of potential products of citrate metabolism by serum assay.
The metabolites assessed will be triglycerides, cholesterol, beta-hydroxy butyrate, acetoacetate, pyruvate and L-lactate.
Timepoint [1] 319715 0
Before commencing CRRT, once a day for five days or the duration of their treatment during CRRT and once the day after cessation of CRRT.

Measurements will be taken at 0600hrs each day.
Secondary outcome [1] 369273 0
Tracking of the plasma concentration of citrate before, during and after CRRT. The citrate concentration will be analysed at the same time points as for other biochemical markers, that is, before commencing CRRT, once a day for five days or the duration of their treatment during CRRT and once the day after cessation of CRRT.
Timepoint [1] 369273 0
Samples will be taken at 0600hrs each day.

Statistical methods / analysis
Statistical methods will be largely descriptive.
No formal power calculation was performed as the intention is to describe a single population rather than to discriminate between two populations.
Therefore, sample size was estimated from the number required to demonstrate a 25% rise in baseline triglyceride level.. On this basis, approximately 20 should be sufficient.
The data collected will be analysed to ascertain the plasma citrate and its potential metabolites (eg: triglycerides)

Summary
Brief summary
The primary aim of the study is to quantify to plasma concentration of citrate metabolites (eg: triglycerides) when using RCA with CRRT.
We expect to establish a means and standard deviations for these plasma concentrations.
Our secondary aim is to track the concentration of citrate over time.
