Description
Summary:Objective: To investigate the effects of hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis on target organ damage in patients with acute paraquat poisoning. Methods: A total of 42 patients with acute paraquat poisoning who were admitted and treated in our hospital between December 2013 and October 2017 were selected as the research subjects, and their therapies were reviewed and used to divide them into the control group (n=20) who received hemoperfusion alone and the combined treatment group (n=22) who received hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis. The differences in the levels of liver and kidney function indexes in peripheral blood as well as lung function indexes in arterial blood were compared between the two groups of patients immediately after admission, after 1 d of treatment and after 3 d of treatment. Results: Immediately after admission, the differences in the levels of liver and kidney function indexes in peripheral blood as well as lung function indexes in arterial blood were not statistically significant between the two groups. After 1d of treatment and after 3 d of treatment, kidney function indexes Scr, BUN and β2-MG levels in peripheral blood of combined treatment group were lower than those of control group at corresponding time points respectively; liver function indexes ALT, AST, TB and ALP levels in peripheral blood were lower than those of control group at corresponding time points respectively; lung function indexes PaO2, BE and PCO3- levels in arterial blood were higher than those of control group at corresponding time points respectively whereas PaCO2 levels were lower than those of control group at corresponding time points respectively. Conclusion: Compared with hemoperfusion alone, hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis is more advantageous in protecting the functions of liver, kidney, lungs and other target organs of patients with acute paraquat poisoning.
