Abstract

BRTISH MEDICAL JOURNAL 26 JUNE 1971 749 (Fig. 1); after 18 days a cystogram showed only a small extravastion (Fig. 2); and 32 days after operation the bladder appeared normal and the catheter was removed.

Extracorporeal Treatment for Lithium Poisoning

“…This difference is best confirmed in patients undergoing both CRRT and HD (60, 82,138,140). Likewise, PD only provides clearance of 9-14 mL/min (14,89,128,190).…”

Acute renal failure and lithium intoxication

“…Peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis have been advocated for the treatment of lithium intoxication (Hawkins & Dorken, 1969;Amdisen & Skjoldborg, 1969;Wilson et al, 1971). In our case lithium removal in the dialysate was relatively slow, only approximately 30 mEq being removed in the first 24 hr.…”

“…Peritoneal dialysis was started for the removal of lithium (Wilson et al, 1971) and the control of uraemia. Serum lithium fell to 1 9 mEq/l after 24 hr and to 0 9 mEq/l after 48 hr.…”

Clinical Use of Psychotherapeutic Drugs2 II
