- Title
Prevention of dialysis catheter-related sepsis with a citrate-taurolidine-containing lock solution.

Betjes, Michiel G H; van Agteren, Madelon
- Abstract
The use of haemodialysis catheters is complicated by catheter-related sepsis. Intraluminal colonization of the catheter with bacteria is important in the pathogenesis of catheter-related sepsis. The use of a catheter lock solution containing the antimicrobial taurolidine might prevent bacterial colonization, thereby reducing the incidence of catheter-related sepsis.
