Iodixanol is readily eliminated by hemodialysis
1Medical Department B, Oslo University Hospital (Rikshospitalet), Norway.
Unlabelled:
PURPOSE, MATERIAL AND METHODS, AND RESULTS: The dialyzability of the high-molecular X-ray contrast medium iodixanol was examined in an in vitro hemodialysis model using two different hollow fiber membranes: one high-flux (poly-sulfone) membrane and one intermediate-flux (cellulose triacetate) membrane. Blood flow was 200 ml/min and membrane area 1.3 m2. The dialyzer clearance of iodixanol dissolved in a mixture of leukocyte-filtered SAG-M blood and compatible citrate plasma was 134.2 +/- 3.6 ml/min for the polysulfone membrane and 113.0 +/- 3.6 ml/min for the cellulose triacetate membrane.
Conclusion:
Iodixanol is readily dialyzed through commercial high-flux membranes.

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.

Dialysis
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...
