Use of hemodialysis and forced diuresis in the treatment of poisoning

N Lasker. Ann Clin Lab Sci. 1976 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

This paper is a brief commentary of the role of forced diuresis and hemodialysis in the treatment of acute poisoning. The importance of informed conservative management is stressed. Rationale and methods of forced diuresis and urinary alkalinization are presented. Dialysis is reserved for special situations where shortening the poison-patient contact time is indicated.
