Methemoglobinemia Caused by Portable Dialysis in the Critically Ill

Abstract: Clinicians should be aware of municipal tap water as a potential cause of methemoglobinemia and monitor for excessive levels of oxidants in dialysis water sources. The capacity of the hemodialysis equipment to clear chloramine can vary as a function of external factors. Using a reliable test method to identify chloramines in the water prior to entering the hemodialysis equipment is essential.

“…U ambulantních pacientů na domácí dialýze byla příčinou kontaminace vody v domácím zdroji, nejčastěji ve studni (11). U hospitalizovaných pacientů na kontinuální náhradě funkce ledvin byla jako příčina identifikována neadekvátní clearance chloraminu z vodovodního řadu (12,13). Řešením byla v obou případech výměna filtru.…”

“…These compounds modify cellular proteins and lipids, denature proteins, reduce red blood cell half‐life and render red blood cell membranes fragile and prone to haemolysis . Impaired clearance of chloramine with the use of portable dialysis machines have been associated with Methaemoglobinaemia in critical care patients undergoing haemodialysis . Uraemia, associated with end stage renal failure, reduces the ability to withstand oxidative stress imposed by chloramine exposure resulting in higher risk of haemolysis …”

“…The most effective approach to removal is adsorption via filtration through activated charcoal columns (granular activated carbon) in the water treatment systems . Exhausted carbon filter systems have been identified in many outbreaks and isolated cases of haemolysis during haemodialysis . Current guidelines recommend the use of durable carbon filters (granular activated carbon or catalytic carbon) with high adsorption ratings and ability to withstand high flow rates.…”
