Mechanism of action

Prismocitrate 18 chelates ionized calcium in the blood, preventing coagulation during dialysis or other extracorporeal treatments. The citrate is metabolized by the liver to bicarbonate, restoring systemic calcium levels post-treatment. This approach provides anticoagulation localized to the extracorporeal circuit while minimizing systemic anticoagulation effects.
