Can Hemodialysis Be Used in Toxicological Treatments?
Hemodialysis is a valuable treatment for certain types of poisoning where the toxin is eliminated from the bloodstream. It is particularly effective for substances with low molecular weight, low protein binding, and high water solubility, such as methanol, ethylene glycol, and lithium. Hemodialysis rapidly reduces toxin levels and can be life-saving in severe cases.
