Carbamazepine intoxication is associated with seizures, coma, arrhythmias and death. In acute intoxication, charcoal hemoperfusion is employed for removal of the drug. This can be associated with thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, hypothermia and hypocalcemia. Alternatively, we used high-efficiency hemodialysis with a batch dialysis system (Genius), lowering not only serum levels of carbamazepine but removing a considerable amount of the drug as measured in the dialysate. This treatment regimen was compared to treatment by hemoperfusion. A 3.5-hour high-flux hemodialysis was as effective as a 2-hour hemoperfusion. We conclude that high-efficiency hemodialysis is a safe and effective alternative for treating life-threatening carbamazepine intoxication. |
