Hemodialysis in an infant with propoxyphene intoxication. 1975

S M Mauer, and C L Paxson, and B von Hartizsch, and T J Buselmeier, and C M Kjellstrand

A 10-month-old infant was treated with intensive supportive care and hemodialysis for severe propoxyphene intoxication. Dialysis clearance studies demonstrated that propoxyphene was removed from the serum at approximately 50% of the rate of blood urea nitrogen removal. Possibly because of tissue binding of the drug, the absolute quantity of propoxyphene removed by dialysis was small. The child survived the acute episode of intoxication but died of pulmonary complications several days later. The role of dialysis in propoxyphene intoxication remains to be established.

D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.
