Removal of toxic levels of N-acetylprocainamide with continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration or continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration. 1987

D T Domoto, and W W Brown, and P Bruggensmith

Two patients with renal failure developed N-acetylprocainamide toxicity while receiving procainamide. Treatment consisted of continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration in one and hemodialysis followed by continuous arteriovenous hemodiafiltration in the other. The efficacy of these treatments was compared with the efficacy of three-times-weekly hemodialysis as used in two patients on chronic hemodialysis who had elevated N-acetylprocainamide levels. Continuous methods produced a more rapid reduction in N-acetylprocainamide levels than intermittent hemodialysis.

D014462 Ultrafiltration The separation of particles from a suspension by passage through a filter with very fine pores. In ultrafiltration the separation is accomplished by convective transport; in DIALYSIS separation relies instead upon differential diffusion. Ultrafiltration occurs naturally and is a laboratory procedure. Artificial ultrafiltration of the blood is referred to as HEMOFILTRATION or HEMODIAFILTRATION (if combined with HEMODIALYSIS).
