Anticoagulation assessment methods in plasma exchange with regional citrate anticoagulation: evaluation of post-filter and filtered plasma ionized calcium.

CONCLUSIONS: A modest agreement between filtered plasma and postfilter iCa values could be acceptable if only a confirmation of anticoagulant effect is required. Measuring filtered plasma instead of postfilter iCa would reduce blood loss with sampling, which could be important in some settings.
