Abstract
Massive carbamazepine (CBZ) overdose is associated with life-threatening hemodynamic complications that present challenges for clinicians. We describe the highest-reported dose of CBZ intoxication in a patient who survived and discuss early hemodialysis option in a CBZ-poisoned patient. Although hemodialysis is reported to increase the elimination of CBZ despite its partiall effectiveness due to the poor water-solubility of CBZ, massive CBZ overdose can induce an acute renal failure and renal function should be monitored closely, and the data obtained from this case that standard low-flux HD might be used and is effective in the management of acute CBZ overdose in patients with associated electrolyte disorders and acute renal failure.
