Summary
Goal of the study:
A- To find out the best protocol for catheter lock solution to decrease the prevalence of
catheter thrombosis
1. - The time to first episode of catheter thrombosis lead to catheter change.
2. - Number of acute episode of thrombosis that interrupt dialysis
3. - Median Survival life of the catheter in both groups after adjusting it to the outcome.
B- Specific Objective: To evaluate the cost effectiveness by measure
1- Amount of r-TPA used in each group to treatment acute catheter thrombosis 2- Number of
catheter exchange in both group 3- Hospitalization days related to catheter malfunctioning or
CRI in each group 4- Type and days of antibiotics 5- Cost of the treatment in each group
c- Secondary Objective:
To correlate the result of two catheters lock solution protocols with the published data
using r-TPA instead of heparin once week as compared with heparin 3 times per week as a
locking solution.
