Dialysis-related adverse reactions can be serious and difficult to predict. In our case, nafamostat mesylate (NM) was thought to be the cause of cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) due to NM-induced anaphylaxis but was not reflected in the allergy tests. Rare but life-threatening drawbacks occur immediately after hemodialysis initiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
