TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - A case of potentially lethal thallium intoxication. Comparison of various elimination procedures JO - Trace Elements in Medicine A1 - Suwelack, B. A1 - Müller, C. A1 - Welling, U. A1 - Lamp, B. A1 - Zidek, W. SP - 51 EP - 54 VL - 11 IS - 2 N2 - A case of potentially lethal ingestion of TI2SO4 intoxication is presented. To eliminate thallium, forced diarrhea, forced diuresis and long- term hemodialysis was used. The elimination rates by forced diuresis and hemodialysis were similar. Expectedly, in the first 5 days the maximum of elimination was observed. It is concluded that hemodialysis contributes significantly to Tl+ elimination also when combined with forced diuresis.
