Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Taurolock and salin5% as lock solutions for prevention of catheter dysfunction and hemodialysis tunneled-catheter related infection.
Design
This is a controlled single-blinded clinical trial study will be conducted on 68 individuals requiring hemodialysis. After coordination and obtaining informed consent, the patients (n=34per group) will be randomly assigned into two groups of salin5% and taurolock and will be follow up for 3 months.
Settings and conduct
From patients with chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis with tunneled hemodialysis catheter referring to hemodialysis center of Golestan hospital, Ahvaz, Iran total of 68 patients will be selected and randomly divided into 2 groups.In the first group, salin5% will be injected into the lumen of the catheter after each hemodialysis session and catheter locked. In the second group, will be used Taurolock solution as lock antibiotic. The patients will not know about type of treatment and grouping and thus until the end of trial the study will be remained single-blinded.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age over 18 years, patients with chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis with tunneled hemodialysis catheter, Consent to participate in the study; Exclusion criteria: using the central venous catheters for anything other than haemodialysis
Intervention groups
In the first group, salin5% will be injected into the lumen of the catheter after each hemodialysis session and catheter locked. In the second group, will be used Taurolock solution as lock antibiotic.
Main outcome variables
Catheter infection and catheter dysfunction

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups of experimental and control. Each patient is given a number from 1 to 64 and assignment of patients into the study groups will be done by table of random numbers.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The patients will not know about grouping and type of intervention (receiving either Taurolock or Saline). Taurolock and saline are placed in the same package (with special code) so that the participants do not understand which group they belong to.
