Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of our study is to investigate whether the substitution of the standard locking solution with a locking solution containing taurolidine and urokinase weekly (Taurolock ™ U 25,000 - www.taurolock.com ) reduces the rate of catheter dysfunction in hemodialysis patients with a history of TCC dysfunction requiring urokinase therapy.
