Citrate dialysate (Citrasate) for heparin-free dialysis

Hello RPN,

Is anyone using Citrasate dialysate (www.citrasate.com) for heparin-free dialysis (as danaparoid is still on backorder)?

Citrasate is now available in Canada through Chief Medical.  There are poster abstracts that this is an alternative anticoagulant in patients with high bleeding risk or HIT but haven't been able to find a publication.

Thanks,
