Abstract:
Rescue of acute poisoning is a race against time, and it is particularly important to remove toxic substances in time. Traditional methods include gastric lavage, promoting elimination, chelating agents, and other treatments. Hemoperfusion is a common blood purification technique. In the clinical practice of acute poisoning, hemoperfusion can directly remove toxic substances through its unique adsorption effect, showing its excellent efficacy. This paper reviews the experience of hemoperfusion in the treatment of various drug overdoses, pesticides, biological toxins, and industrial poisons, even drug addiction. It is hoped to provide a reference for clinicians in acute poisoning rescue.

Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison
Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
