Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of ethanol (70%) as lock-solution after hemodialysis on: * The frequency of dialysis catheter-related bacteremia among patients under observation of potential complications * Other complications of the use of hemodialysis-catheters eg. dysfunction of the catheter due to thrombosis.

Conditions

• Hemodialysis Catheter-Associated Bacteremia
• Hemodialysis Complication

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Ethanol 70%	Once a week, the catheter will be closed with 3 mL ethanol 70% lock-solution after a completed hemodialysis. The fluid will stay in the catheter until next hemodialysis (ca. 48 hours). The fluid will be aspirated before the hemodialysis. Standard lock-solution of isotonic saline with heparin will be used for the remaining two hemodialysis procedures of the week.
DRUG	Isotonic saline with heparin	Standard procedure of isotonic saline used as lock-fluid after completed hemodialysis.
