|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
A fatal case of severe copper sulphate poisoning is reported in whom hemodialysis was performed 13 h after ingestion. At autopsy a significant amount of copper was found in the brain, heart, liver, kidney, spleen and adrenals. This case indicates sopper is nondialysable and that hemodialysis is ineffective in the treatment of acute copper sulphate poisoning.
