A recent study conducted at St. John's Medical College Hospital in Karnataka, India, explored the use of plasmapheresis as a potential adjunctive therapy for Yellow Phosphorus (YP) poisoning. YP poisoning is a rare but serious condition that can cause gastrointestinal irritation, hepatic injury, and Acute Liver Failure (ALF). The study focused on a 16-year-old female patient who had consumed Ratol poison and developed acute liver injury. Plasmapheresis was considered as a treatment option, and the patient responded well to the therapy and was discharged after seven days of hospitalization. The study provides insights into the mechanistic rationale, clinical efficacy, and safety considerations of plasmapheresis in managing YP poisoning. [Extracted from the article] |
