      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, 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 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.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Catheter-related infection.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Salin5% will be injected into the lumen of the catheter after each hemodialysis session and catheter locked. Intervention 2: Intervention group: In this group, will be used Taurolock (TauroLock™-Hep 500®) solution as lock antibiotic. Taurolock vial containing taurolidine (antimicrobial agent), 500 units heparin per mL and citrate 4%. lock solution will be injected into the lumen of the catheter after each hemodialysis session and catheter locked.</i_freetext>
