/EXPL THER/ Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) is an effective form of anticoagulation for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients with contraindications to heparin. Its use has been very limited, possibly because of the need for special infusion solutions and difficult monitoring of the metabolic effects./The objective of this study was/ to investigate the safety and the feasibility of an RCA method for continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) using commercially available replacement fluid. We evaluated 11 patients at high risk of bleeding, requiring CVVH. RCA was performed using commercially available replacement fluid solutions to maintain adequate acid-base balance. We adjusted the rate of citrate infusion to achieve a post-filter ionized calcium concentration [iCa] <0.4 mmol/L when blood flow was <250 mL/min, or <0.6 mmol/L when blood flow was >250 mL/min. When needed, we infused calcium gluconate to maintain systemic plasma [iCa] within the normal range. Twenty-nine filters ran for a total of 965.5 hr. Average filter life was 33.6+/-20.5 hr. Asymptomatic hypocalcemia was detected in 6.9% of all samples. No [iCa] values <0.9 mmol/L were observed. Hypercalcemia (1.39+/-0.05 mmol/L) occurred in 2.5% of all samples. /The authors/ observed hypernatremia (threshold 153 mmol/L) and alkalosis (threshold 7.51) in only 9.3% and 9.4% respectively of all samples, mostly concomitantly. No patient showed any signs of citrate toxicity. /They/ developed a protocol for RCA during CVVH using commercially available replacement fluid that proved safe, flexible and applicable in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting.

A study of abdominal pain and severity of other side effects attributed to Picolax, a combination of citric acid, magnesium oxide and sodium picosulfate, was conducted among 267 patients, 55 of whom had inflammatory bowel disease, all of whom were given a full single dose of Picolax as preparation for radiology or endoscopy. The frequency of increased abdominal pain and severe side effects after Picolax administration was similar in the patients with inflammatory bowel disease and the patients with other colonic disorders. None of the patients with iron deficiency in whom investigations had yielded negative results reported severe side effects; this was significantly different from the proportion reporting severe side effects among the patients with inflammatory bowel disease, the irritable bowel syndrome and diverticular disease. The increase in the mean number of stools/24 hr after Picolax was lower in the patients with inflammatory bowel disease than in the other diagnostic groups. On review 2-4 wk after examination none of the patients with inflammatory bowel disease reported deterioration in their symptoms.

Following the occurrence of aluminum encephalopathy in four patients with chronic renal failure, 34 azotemic patients seen during the same year and five volunteers who took varying combinations of aluminum hydroxide and an alkalinizing citrate (Shohl's) solution were studied. It was found that the four encephalopathic cases were older than the 34 azotemic patients (68 years + or - 14 standard deviation, versus 50 + or - 13, p< 0.05), had a higher mean serum aluminum value (727 ug/l + or - 320 versus 92 + or - 73, p< 0.005), had taken more aluminum hydroxide (5 g/day + or - 0.9 versus 1.6 + or - 1.8, p< 0.01), and more Shohl's solution (64 ml/day + or - 19 versus 20 + or - 29, p< 0.01). In all 38 patients the serum aluminum values correlated directly with age (p=0.01), aluminum hydroxide (p=0.001) and concomitant citrate intake (p=0.004). In the five healthy volunteers the 24 hr urinary aluminum excretion increased from a baseline of 22 ug + or - 19 standard deviation to 167 + or - 109 (p=0.05) during aluminum hydroxide intake, rising to 580 + or - 267 (p=0.01) during the simultaneous intake of citrate and aluminum hydroxide. Corresponding serum aluminum values were 11 ug/l + or - 2 standard deviation, 44 + or - 34 (p= 0.1), and 98 + or - 58 (p<0.05). Thus citrate seems to enhance aluminum absorption and may cause encephalopathy in patients with chronic renal failure, especially the elderly.

/A portion/ of the circulating (mainly metabolic but also ingested) citric acid is excreted in urine, with 24-hour urine reference values between 1.5 and 3.68 mmol, corresponding to 0.29-0.71 g citric acid excreted per person per day.

Citric acid is a normal metabolite and an intermediate in cellular oxidative metabolism ... The acid is formed in the mitochondrion after condensation of acetate with oxaloacetate. The six-carbon acid is then successively degraded to a series of four-carbon acids, effectively accomplishing oxidation of acetate in the cell.
Bingham, E.; Cohrssen, B.; Powell, C.H.; Patty's Toxicology Volumes 1-9 5th ed. John Wiley & Sons. New York, N.Y. (2001)., p. 5:767
In human (as well as in animal and plant) physiology, citric acid is a very common intermediate in one of the central biochemical cycles, the Krebs or tricarboxylic acid cycle, which takes place in every cell. It completes the breakdown of pyruvate formed from glucose through glycolysis, thereby liberating carbon dioxide and a further four hydrogen atoms which are picked up by electron transport molecules. Thus, in man approximately 2 kg of citric acid are formed and metabolised every day. This physiological pathway is very well developed and capable of processing very high amounts of citric acid as long as it occurs in low concentrations.

... The NK(2), and to a lesser extent the NK(1), receptors have been shown to be involved with citric acid-induced bronchoconstriction in the guinea pig, which is in part mediated by endogenously released bradykinin. Tachykinins and bradykinin could also modulate citric acid-induced bronchoconstriction. ... Bronchoconstriction induced by citric acid inhalation in the guinea pig, mainly caused by the tachykinin NK(2) receptor, is counteracted by bronchoprotective NO after activation of bradykinin B(2) and tachykinin NK(1) receptors in airway epithelium.

... A concentration of 47.6 mmol/L of citric acid (pH 2.3) in water led to total cell death within three minutes of incubation /with gingival fibroblasts (GF)/. Media containing 23.8 mmol/L and 47.6 mmol/L of citric acid exerted strong cytotoxicity (47 to 90 per cent of cell death) and inhibited protein synthesis (IC50 = 0.28 per cent) of GF within three hours of incubation. Incubation of cells in a medium containing 11.9 mmol/L of citric acid also suppressed the attachment and spreading of fibroblasts on culture plates and Type I collagen, with 58 per cent and 22 per cent of inhibition, respectively. Culture medium supplemented with 11.9, 23.8 and 47.6 mmol/L of citric acid also led to extracellular acidosis by decreasing the pH value from 7.5 to 6.3, 5.2 and 3.8, respectively.

Inhalation of citric acid (CA) causes airway constriction and coughing. To investigate the role of mast cells in CA-induced airway constriction and cough, three experiments using guinea pigs were carried out. In the first experiment, /the authors/ used compound 48/80 to deplete mast cells, cromolyn sodium to stabilize mast cells, MK-886 to inhibit synthesis of leukotrienes, pyrilamine to antagonize histamine H1 receptor, methysergide to antagonize serotonin receptor, and indomethacin to inhibit cyclooxygenase. In the second experiment, compound 48/80-pretreated animals were divided into 2 parts; the first one was used to test the role of exogenous leukotriene (LT) C4, while the second one to test the role of exogenous histamine. Decreases in respiratory compliance (Crs) and forced expiratory volume in 0.1 sec (FEV0.1) were used as indicators for airway constriction in anesthetized guinea pigs. CA-induced cough was recorded for 12 min using a barometric body plethysmograph in conscious animals. In the third experiment, the activation of mast cells upon CA inhalation was investigated by determining lung tissue or arterial plasma histamine concentration in animals. Exposure to CA induced marked airway constriction and increase in cough number. Compound 48/80, cromolyn sodium, MK-886 and pyrilamine, but not indomethacin or methysergide, significantly attenuated CA-induced airway constriction and cough. Injection of LTC4 or histamine caused a significant increase in CA-induced airway constriction and cough in compound 48/80-pretreated animals. In addition, CA inhalation caused significant increase in lung tissue and plasma histamine concentrations, which were blocked by compound 48/80 pretreatment. These results suggest that mast cells play an important role in CA aerosol inhalation-induced airway constriction and cough via perhaps mediators including LTs and histamine.
