Abstract

The management of ethylene glycol poisoning is multimodal and usually includes hemodialysis. The usual approach for guiding treatment duration is iterative, based on serial measurements of ethylene glycol concentration and routine biochemistry. In this issue,Iliuta etal. present a simplified approach to determining the duration of hemodialysis based on a single ethylene glycol concentration. Although this appears reasonable in many cases, thereare circumstances in which further consideration is warranted and it only applies to high-efficiency intermittent hemodialysis.
